• Antes' “Head-Footer” motif has undergone constant change since its development in the early 1960s , forming a central theme in the artist’s paintings and sculptures.
• With its silhouette-like flatness and beautiful natural patina, the large “Figure 1000” is a particularly impressive testament to the artist's archaic visual language.
• Part of a private collection in Hesse for 35 years
