[KP].
Unique piece.
We are grateful to Professor Jörn Merkert, Spatzenhausen, for his kind support in cataloging this lot.

This work obtains all its expressiveness from the subtle balance that combines both parts of the work. Solidarity, balance and closeness are symbolized by the two narrow towering elements, connected only through a single spiral-shaped tube. Despite its cool materiality it is a sensuous and animate component that open up anew from every angle.
