Portrait of the artist Kurt Arentz

About Kurt Arentz

1934-2014

The German sculptor and painter was born in 1934 in Cologne, as the son of an old-established Bergisch artisan family. He initially learned a trade but then found his own artistic path from 1979 onwards.

At first, he created still lifes in oil and pastel as well as portraits in bronze of celebrities such as Franz Josef Strauß or Herbert von Karajan. Later, he focused mainly on animal motifs emphasising the typical character of each species. As a remarkable self-taught artist, Kurt Arentz found his very own artistic form concept. Beyond academic experiments, but also far from all naturalistic platitudes, he shaped symbols of vital nature with his hands. His ideals of a still-intact world transport us as if into the wilderness. Arentz abstracted the animal as a being in itself. In doing so, he succeeded in placing his works in an era of timeless validity.

For his works, Kurt Arentz used a special silicone rubber process that allowed for the immediate realisation of his ideas. The bronze cast was then signed with the artist's very own signature. In the final work step, the surfaces of the metal were polished, roughened or patinated, thus acquiring their motif-typical characteristics.

The sculptor has already presented his works to a large audience in numerous exhibitions in Germany and France. On his 70th birthday on May 30, 2004, Kurt Arentz was congratulated by former chancellor of Germany Helmut Kohl and former German President Roman Herzog. Arentz was used to receiving frequent acknowledgements and tributes from celebrities: Other fellow statesmen such as Willy Brandt, Ronald Reagan or George Bush Sr., as well as Sir Peter Ustinov and Willy Millowitsch, had their portraits painted by Kurt Arentz.

Nevertheless, Kurt Arentz's great mastery is evident in his animal sculptures. He is considered one of the most significant animal sculptors of the 20th century. In 2001, Arentz was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for his artistic and social commitment. His sculptures are housed in places such as the White House, Washington, and the Museum of European Art in New York.

Like no other, he succeeded in reaching the very essence of the animal and depicting it. The great popularity of these nature studies lies in their strong expressiveness, but also in their carefree cheerfulness: Arentz's creative energy is joy in life.

Kurt Arentz lived and worked in Leverkusen. He passed away in June 2014.

An alloy of copper with other metals (especially with tin) used since ancient times. It is an ideal metal for high-quality artistic castings, capable of enduring for millennia.

When casting bronze, the artist usually applies the lost-wax technique which is dating back more than 5000 years. This is the best, but also the most complex method of producing sculptures.

First, the artist forms a model of their work. This model is embedded in a liquid silicone rubber mass. Once the material has solidified, the model is cut out, leaving a negative mould. Liquid wax is then poured into the negative mould. After cooling down, the wax cast is removed from the mould, provided with sprues and dipped into ceramic mass. The ceramic mass is hardened in a kiln, where the wax melts away (lost mould).

Finally, the negative mould is ready, into which the 1400° C hot molten bronze is poured. After the bronze had cooled down, the ceramic shell is broken apart, reavoling the sculpture.

Next, the sprues are removed, the surfaces are polished, patinated and numbered by the artist or by a specialist, following their instructions. Thus, each casting is an original work.

For lower-quality bronze castings, the sand casting method is often used, which, however, does not achieve the results of a more elaborate lost-wax technique in terms of surface characteristics and quality.

Term for an art object (sculpture, installation) that, according to the artist’s intention, is produced in multiple copies within a limited and numbered edition.

Multiples enable the "democratization" of art by making the work accessible and affordable for a wider audience.
