Strässer, Herbert: Athena
Est: €12,000 - €14,000
Athena Bronze mit schwarzbrauner Patina, auf Holzsockel montiert. 1979. 36 x 34 x 21 cm. Verso an der Unterkante monogrammiert "H. ST." und datiert. Mit einer Assoziation an die antike Mythologie variiert Strässer mit seiner "Athena" das Motiv der Einschließung und Umrahmung des Kopfes, vielfältig in seinem Werk umgesetzt, hier ein weiteres Mal. Eine vertikale Spiegelachse verläuft von vorne nach hinten mitten durch den Kopf. Dass hier der Helm der Pallas Athene dominiert und "der Binnenraum fast ganz von Gesichtszügen frei ist", heißt auch, "dass an die Stelle von Emotionen die formale Struktur eines Gegenstandes getreten ist." (Jürgen Weichhardt, in: Herbert Strässer. Skulpturen, Bonn 1998, S. 19). Zu den Seiten hin bleibt die Kopfform jedoch offen, so dass der Betrachter durch die für Strässers Schaffen dieser Zeit charakteristischen Ausbuchtungen hindurch in das Innere des Kopfes zu blicken meint. Die organische Komposition mit den kugeligen Formen scheint zugleich die menschlichen Sinnesorgane zu ersetzen, derer die Göttin selbstverständlich nicht bedarf. Das interessante Spannungfeld zwischen der statischen Form des Helmes und den organischen Binnenformen macht den besonderen Reiz dieser Bronze aus. Die Motivreihe der "Köpfe" stellt die umfangreichste Gruppe im Spätwerk Herbert Strässers dar. Ganz ausgezeichneter Guss mit wunderbar homogener Patina. Gesamthöhe mit Sockel: 29 cm. - Literatur: Herbert Strässer, Skulpturen, Bonn 1998, Abb. S. 18 - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.
