Detailed description
Sculpture "Lovers" (1982), bonded bronze version
The work of the sculptor Peter Hohberger reveals his deep affinity with classical Greek sculpture. This makes him similar to Auguste Rodin, probably the greatest sculptor of this century. Another parallel is his attraction to sensual-erotic themes. Thus, it is not surprising that Hohberger's "Lovers" evokes aspects of Rodin's "Springtime of Life": a couple completely absorbed in their own emotional world emerges from a charming interplay of light and shadow, which takes shape in the depressions and elevations of this group, which is both alive and animated.
Edition in bonded bronze. Polymer ars mundi museum replica cast by hand, numbered and signed. Edition of 199 copies only. Size 47 x 27 cm. Weight approx. 20 kg.

About Peter Hohberger
Born in 1939, former actor, now sculptor and painter
The sculptor Peter Hohberger, born in Silesia on 12 November 1939, was already involved in drawing and modelling as a child. After a successful career as an actor, he has devoted himself to painting and the fine arts for many years. He sees himself quite consciously as a sculptor in the classical sense.
His basic aesthetic understanding is influenced by nature. The beauty of the human body is what fascinates him and which he translates into his nudes and portrait busts unaffected by modernisms. His role models are the masters of ancient Greece, Auguste Rodin and above all Arno Breker, who instructed him personally. He has learned from all of them, and not only in the accuracy with which he knows how to depict the beauty of the female body.
Hohberger says: "Art that enriches life and makes people happy outlasts any kind of so-called zeitgeist".
Bronze powder is polymer-bonded. Special polishing and patination techniques give the surface of the casting an appearance similar to the bronze.
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.
