Our head sculpture, just over half a meter high and made of brass, is a classic example of the formal language and style of Prof. Franz Hagenauer’s late oeuvre. The staging, which deviates from three-dimensionality, and its abstract geometry are typical. The strictly reduced male head is an indomitable eye-catcher in any interior and radiates a timeless elegance.
