Detailed description
Wooden sculpture "Snorkeler in Neon Yellow" (2024) (Original / Unique piece)
The sculptor Jörg Herz creates expressively sawn sculptures. This wooden sculpture depicts a woman in a neon yellow swimsuit with flippers and a snorkel. The artist was inspired by his love of water and aims to convey the joy of swimming in open water. The choice of a female motif challenges traditional gender roles and emphasises the freedom experienced in the water. The sculpture celebrates the natural world and the strength of women. Herz hopes to inspire viewers to appreciate the wonders of nature.
Sculpture made of spruce wood, painted with acrylic paint. Signed by hand. Figure approx. 53 cm high. Size including pedestal 68 x 10 x 20 cm (h/w/d). Weight approx. 2 kg.

A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures made of wood, ivory, or stone are carved directly from the material block, in bronze casting, a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolour, drawing, lost-wax sculpture etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there are also the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a genre of modern art that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions, and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
The historical starting point is considered to be Claude Monet's "Les Meules" (1890/1891), where, for the first time, a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
