Weltempfänger 'Boston'. 1991.
Retractable antenna in cast concrete.
Signed, dated and titled "Boston" on the underside. Without antena: 12 x 11 x 8 cm (4.7 x 4.3 x 3.1 in).
Total dimensions depend on how far the antana is retraced and inclined. [AR].

• Unique sculpture from the sought-after work group of the 'Weltempfänger' (world/shortwave receiver).
• Through Isa Genzken's artistic intervention, the transmitter and receiver lose their function, and a new meaning of high topicality is created.
• She is one of the most important and most influential living artists.
• Privately-owned since it was made.

The work will be included into the forthcoming catalogue raisonné. We are grateful to Galerie Buchholz, Cologne, for the kind support in cataloging this lot.

PROVENANCE: Private collection Southern Germany (since 1991).
