Themes such as the double and the metamorphosis, otherwise put, themes of atrophied characters are all representations of the abject. Berszán’s creation is located at the fine border between the representation of identity and its dissolution thusly aiming to represent the non-symbolized. The dynamic separation and the transitional object...

Rolf Hans Frankfurt 1938 - 1996 Basel Set of 4 bird sculptures, 1990 Wood, paint Each signed on the underside 131/121 x 20 x 11.5cm The sculpture comes with a catalog about the artist. Provenance: Estate of the artist Authenticity confirmed in writing At the beginning of the 1970s, Rolf Hans began designing objects for the first time. These were small sculptures that he assembled from iron pipes with round or square profiles. With these, he sought to create a new, three-dimensional reality of experience, parallel to his paintings, which he was creating at the same time. In 1987, Hans returned to the medium of sculpture. He no longer regarded the working process as conscious construction, but rather as allowing himself to be guided by what was already there. And as with his paintings, his objects now arose from an inner necessity, not to fill an intellectual vacuum. "This compulsion has had a hold on me for decades, and for a few years now I have been trying to appease it with the cycle 'Poesie der Dinge' (Poetry of Things). The intellectual climate was ripe." So Hans concentrated on working on the sculpture cycle in the last decade of his life. And as if in a frenzy, he drew on the new possibilities offered to him by the design of the objects: "The poetry of things grows, it swallows up all my time, many things are neglected, hardly any letters, the diary is largely silent, concert visits are limited to the essentials. A compulsion arises, and yet it began as a game, but experiments were always a serious matter that demanded the whole man. [...] The objects have crept into my rational mind, cautiously and unnoticed, claiming their place, taking it, becoming part of myself." "It's a difficult thing with art. Looking at your predecessors, you try to find your way, the spirit of the times and its aesthetics influence the direction, you know about the dissatisfaction in which you move. Now, in the midst of the 'poetry of things', there is a feeling of freedom, yet closely connected to much that came before. There is no program, only a title that allows each work its freedom." But despite the role models before his eyes, Hans succeeds from the outset in finding his own unique ways of expression with his object cycle. What connects him to Max Ernst, Brancusi, and Duchamp is solely the source material: found objects. These are very mundane things from everyday life—once necessary, useful, and practical items such as tools, utensils, and devices—that have been stripped of their function and now serve as a gateway to the artist's imagination. In this way, Hans strips things of their previous, traditional function or archaic purpose and transports them into a different, new reality in order to breathe new life into them. In doing so, he does not want to deny the found form without aestheticizing it. By making only minor changes to their 'innate' structure, signs of wear, and color, he seeks to emphasize their meaning and purpose as form and to redefine their inherent charisma. The objects are worked on, forced to reveal their unique characteristics in their struggle with the artist and to make new statements in connection with other objects. In this way, Hans presents the abstract symmetries of the wood and metal objects without any artificiality and places them on a pedestal in accordance with artistic tradition. Furthermore, he integrates the pedestal into the work. As the lowest component, the pedestal not only prepares the viewer for the sculpture, but also loosens, loosens, or strengthens its connection to the earth. By raising them up, he gives the sculptures a further life of their own, a second existence, so to speak, and also gives them a new identity with a new name. "They show their personality, some more, some less, as is the case in life, or in art." What they all have in common is their influence from the past into the here and now. In doing so, they reveal their original beauty and the mysticism that fires our imagination. However ambivalent the sculptures and objects by Rolf Hans may appear to us, they never do so in a loud or exalted manner. With their balanced and simple appearance, they quietly and calmly, but decisively, enter into contact with us. In an unsettling way, they repeatedly prompt us to ask questions: Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going? They offer us no clues that might help us answer these questions. Instead, they give us all the more scope for associations and imagination. They appeal to our subconscious. They invite us to linger and meditate: it is the familiar beginning and the unconscious departure into the mysteries of creation.

Irmgard Biernath (1905 Waldheim in Saxony - 1998 Mainz), Hommage à Kahnweiler, 1984. Terracotta relief, burnished red body, 43.5 x 38 cm, mounted on support plate, in wooden frame 57 x 49.5 cm, monogrammed "IB" at lower right. - Isolated patina losses, but overall good condition, frame slightly bumped. - The Appearance of Genius- This homage to Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler shows the gallerist and art theorist as Pablo Picasso portrayed him in his lithographic portrait of 1957. As an innovative Parisian gallery owner, Kahnweiler had exclusively represented Picasso since 1911, while Picasso had painted his famous portrait of Kahnweiler the previous year as a major work of Cubism. And it is Picasso who appears at the centre of Irmgard Biernath's image. Here, his face echoes the features of the self-portrait he painted in 1907 in the Prague National Gallery. His eyes are wide open as he gazes into the distance, surrounded by the works of his artistic vision that have already taken shape. On the right is the bronze "Man with Sheep...
