Recipients
1991 // Siegfried Schreiber // Kleine Hockende ("Little One Squatting")
“Due mainly to the immensity of his sculptures, most of Siegfried Schreiber's works (i.e. Schaukelnde Kinder in Görlitz - "Swinging Children in Goerlitz, Ringende Knaben - "Wrestling Lads") have been displayed in large public spaces. The interior and exterior movements of people inspires Schreiber time and again, giving him a muse and creative strength, driving him to capture and communicate their essence.”
