Recipients
1993 // Wolfgang Kuhle // Torso Nr. XXIV
"Despite occasional attempts to work in large and life-size formats, Kuhle prefers to remain in the domains of Relief and Torso Statue work. Reminiscent of the Baroque period, the internal conflicts are stowed upon the musculature, the moving surfaces, bumps, and chiseled indentations.”
