Preisträger

2003 // Christian Höpfner // Richard Scheibe

"While Hoepfner measure himself and based his standards on the teachers and colleagues of the Realistic Sculpture movement, he found indisputable worth in the authority of the human figure in sculpture and bestowed upon it timeless sovereignty and grandeur."
