The GOLDEN DATE sculpture, also from the MAXIMINIMALISMUS series, is an extremely exclusive gift.
One of the special features of this sculpture is that a specific date is ‘stored’ in it in an abstract, artistic form – each of these sculptures is a handmade unique piece and each date is the exclusive centrepiece of a GOLDEN DATE sculpture or a limited special edition.
The elaborately crafted sculpture made of 160 beech wood components emphasises a special day and is predestined to remind us in a very positive way that a fulfilled and contented life is a priceless gift.
The GOLDEN DATE sculptures also have a beautiful connection to our natural world, as trees also ‘store’ their respective ages, and with a possible age of a tree of well over 9,000 years, it is easy to recognise how relative the concept of time and how valuable lifetime is.
I have dedicated a special limited edition of the GOLDEN DATE sculpture with the special date 25 October 1881 to the genius of the century, Pablo Picasso, whom I have admired very much since my youth, if only because of his incredible creative power. But there will also be special limited editions of the GOLDEN DATE sculpture in the coming years in connection with other artists whose works inspire me.
I also make the GOLDEN DATE sculptures available for the realisation of actions in favour of social projects.
