Man With Fish

This artwork marks Balkenhol's first permanent public installation in the United States. Hailing from Germany, the sculptor developed his skills at the Hamburg School of Fine Arts.

Renowned for his minimalist and conceptual creations, his early sculptures featured nudes inspired by Roman, Greek, and Egyptian aesthetics.

In the 1980s, his focus shifted to portraying everyday individuals engaged in ordinary activities, often with a whimsical or unexpected touch. This artistic approach is evident in this piece, reminiscent of his "Small Man with Giraffe" displayed in front of the Hamburg Zoo.

Crafted from bronze, the sculpture releases water from the fish's mouth, creating a cascade that gently descends into the reflecting pool below, adorned with a vibrant sea-life image.
