Stephan Balkenhol
1957
Mann mit weißem Hemd. 1992.
Stone (tuff), with colors.
Including the plinth: 135 cm (53.1 in).
• Unique work.
• The man in the white shirt is an archetype that appears early in Stephan Balkenhol’s oeuvre.
• Part of a private Northern German collection since it was created.
• Unlike his works in wood and bronze, the artist’s stone sculptures are very rare on the international auction market.
• Most recently, Balkenhol’s works have been honored in highly acclaimed solo exhibitions at venues such as the Kunsthal Rotterdam (2025), the Museum Wiesbaden (2023), and the Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, Northern Germany (acquired directly from the artist in 1992).
"My sculptures are prototypes of humanity. They transcend time and society. Drawing on my observations, experiences, and emotions, I strive to express the moments of my perception of the world in my sculptures in such a general and universal way that everyone can relate. In them, we recognize our vulnerability, indecision, our doubts, and our powerlessness, but also our curiosity, our desire, our wit, and ultimately our mortality."
Stephan Balkenhol in a conversation with Rene Spiegelberger, August 2024, quoted from: Studio Conversation with Stephan Balkenhol: As a sculptor, I think with my hands, https://www.spiegelberger-stiftung.de/ateliergesprache/stephan-balkenhol/.
Called up: June 13, 2026 - ca. 13.17 h +/- 20 min.
