Detailed description
Sculpture "Horse Couple", bronzed stone casting
Johann Baptist Lenz (1922-2007) was an internationally renowned sculptor and designer of sanctuaries and churches. In many of his secular works, he proved to be a tongue-in-cheek humourist, for example, with his sculpture "Der Amtsschimmel" in front of the district hall in Ahrweiler, Germany. And his "Horse Couple" makes it clear that he was also a great animalist.

About Johann Baptist Lenz
1922-2007
The sculptor Johann Baptist Lenz, from the Eifel region, made a name for himself throughout Germany primarily with his design of monuments, altar rooms in churches, sculptures and fountains for public places. In addition to such large-scale works, he also created smaller representational as well as abstract sculptures. Sometimes realistic, sometimes humorous, but always sensitive and with a fine gift of observation, he devoted himself to his fellow human beings, religious representations and motifs from the animal world. He was a narrator of everyday life, his wife Maria Lenz said about him.

Collective term for all casting processes that ars mundi carries out with the help of specialised art foundries.
Stone casting
Similar to artificial marble, with the difference that the substitute stone in powder form is used instead of marble powder.
Bonded Bronze (Cold-Cast-Bronze)
Bronze powder is polymer-bonded. Special polishing and patination techniques give the surface of the casting an appearance similar to the bronze.
Imitation Wood
In order to guarantee absolute fidelity to the original, an artificially manufactured imitation wood is used as a base material that features typical wood characteristics: density, workability, colour and surface structure.
Ceramic Mould Casting
Ceramic mould casting usually requires the use of casting clay, which is then fired and optionally glazed. Instead of the usual rubber moulds, plaster moulds are often used in ceramic casting and porcelain production.
Cast Bronze (Lost-Wax Casting)
For the cast bronze, the thousand-year-old lost-wax technique is used. It's the best, but also the most complex method of producing sculptures.
Term for an art object (sculpture, installation), which is produced in multiple copies in a limited and numbered edition according to the artist‘s will.
Artist's multiples have been called the most accessible and affordable art on the market.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, 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.
