Preisträger
2000 // Klaus Kütemeier // Kneeling Female Figure
"Kütemeier sees himself as a sculptor, who, before carving his sculptures, spends more time and energy in front of notebook instead of clay and modeling stands. Nevertheless, his bronze work is just as important as his sculptural work. He yields his standards from the stone."
