The Berlin Wall at its Greatest Moments
This fiber glass sculpture represents one of the most important historical moments that attracts art lovers of all generations. It is about 7’ long, 4.5’ tall and 2.5’ wide and it can be excellent to show case in a restaurant, art gallery, museum, or any other place you can think of. My son is the artist, and we are letting go because we do not longer have the space. Make me an offer; you decide how much it worth. Due to the size of the piece, it cannot be shipped. You are welcome to pick it up in Spring Texas 77381. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Background: In 2008, the sculpture won first prize among 6,000 entrants in a national competition sponsored by “Lucerne – the art of dairy”. The cow-shaped sculpture represents the Berlin Wall at its grandest moment, when it was being torn down. This is shown on the left side of the sculpture with graffiti, as a cow is seen knocking it down with a hammer. For the right side of the cow, the artist chose to depict the other half of the wall, East Berlin, which in times of Soviet control was heavily regulated, as shown by the lack of graffiti and the presence of a Russian soldier. There the soldier is shown looking at a solitary poster, of a man (or cow) jumping over the wall to freedom. The face of the cow is rather simple; it was painted to look like Joseph Stalin, the Soviet leader who helped establish the communist regime in Germany.
