- Rare monumentality. The largest sculpture by the artist ever offered on the international auction market (www.artprice.com). - One of the first abstract steles that Croissant created in the early 1980s. - The monumental steles from this series of works show parallels to the contemporaneous creations of the American Hard Edge protagonist Ellsworth Kelly. - Croissant developed his abstract steles from figuration: from his standing figures of the 1970s, which were based on Greek and Egyptian models. - Fascinating multi-perspectivity and archaic aura.
