Östereichisches Postwar – Lewin 128a. - Eines von 50 Exemplaren. - Hrsg. v. Kunstverein Heidelberg. Gegossen bei Gernot Eichler, Eppingen-Mühlbach. - In seinem Ouevre thematisiert Alfred Hrdlicka oft Leidensgeschichten von Unterdrückten und Ausgestoßenen. Der österreichische Künstler, der in den 1950er Jahren an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste Wien bei Fritz Wotruba Bildhauerei studierte, formuliert 1973 das Motto "Fleisch = Kunst" und nimmt eine Unterteilung in "geiles Fleisch" und "geschundenes Fleisch" vor. Die Kunst erfüllt für ihn ihre grundlegende Funktion ausschließlich, indem sie den Menschen in seinen zwei Leiblichkeiten sichtbar macht. Die vorliegende Bronzeplastik entsteht kurz nach Entwicklung dieser Leitlinie.

Austrian Post War – Bronze cast, with a gold-brown patina. Signed and numbered. - Overall in very good condition, an excellent cast with striking patina. - One of 50 copies. - Published by the Kunstverein Heidelberg. Cast by Gernot Eichler, Eppingen-Mühlbach. - In his body of work, Alfred Hrdlicka often addresses the stories of suffering by the oppressed and the outcast. The Austrian artist, who studied sculpture under Fritz Wotruba at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in the 1950s, formulated the motto "Flesh = Art" in 1973 and distinguished between "lustful flesh" and "tormented flesh." For him, art fulfills its fundamental function exclusively by making visible the human being in his two physical forms. This bronze sculpture was created shortly after the development of this guiding principle.
