This steel sculpture by the German artist presents itself with monumental power. Although it does not show the typical shape of a cephalopod, but a male figure with neck and upper body, however in the emphasis of the head and the feet and the archaic, outline-like depiction in profile, the characteristic hand of the artist is clearly visible. This sculpture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

The sculpture is in good condition with only slight signs of age and wear. Its dimensions are 220 x 90 x 67 cm.



Horst Antes (b.1936)

The German artist Horst Antes studied from 1957 to 1959 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe, where HAP Grieshaber was his teacher. From 1965 to 2000 he is also a professor for painting there. As one of the pioneers of new approaches to representational painting Horst focuses on the presentation of figures. He developed the ‘Kopffüßler’ a monumental figure shown in profile, consisting of head and feet, which determines his work since 1962 in variations. Antes is a painter, graphic artist and sculptor. His works has been exhibited internationally and is to find in the collections of major museums such as the Kunsthalle Hamburg, the Sprengel Museum in Hannover or the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Horst Antes lives and works in Karlsruhe and Italy.
