• Early example of the characteristic, reduced "Head" figure which Horst Antes conceived as a development of the "Kopffüßler" (Head Footer) from the early 1960s.
• An expression of the artist's unmistakable pictorial language.
• Up until today the artist uses the oversized heads to address the intellectual potential of man.
• The "Heads" and the "Head Footers" are among the artist's most sought-after motifs.
• Privately-owned for more than 20 years.
