Very good condition
Provenance: Collection Dr. Alfred Mikesch, Austria
The stone sculpture was created by Karl Prantl. The small-scale work is made of Tauern green serpentine and has a round and dynamic shape. The lively grain of the stone shows green speckles in different sizes. From 1950 onwards, Prantl taught himself how to sculpt. He originally studied painting at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. Stone was his favorite material to work with. During a commission work in a quarry, he discovered the sculptural work in the open countryside. This ascetic form of creativity shaped his work sustainably. The Symposium of European Sculptors in St. Margarethen is based on Karl Prantl's initiative.
The sculpture is in very good condition and shows hardly any signs of age. It measures 16 cm in height and 23 cm in width. (ggo)
