About this book

Stephan Balkenhol is one of Germany's best-known sculptors. Over the last three decades, and in addition to reliefs and drawings, he has created a whole nation of human and animal figures from different sorts of wood as well as from bronze. This publication brings together both new and older works of the artist. In addition to giving a modern spin to collective myths, symbols and pictorial compositions, the accompanying text focuses in particular on gender relations in the work of the artist.
