Worldwide exclusivity at ars mundi: Emil Nolde´s Java Dancer.
For the country lad Nolde, it should have been a great adventure: since early October 1913 until the summer of 1914, he accompanied the "Medical-demographic Germany-New Guinea Expedition". The artist Nolde focused totally on people, he drew them and watercolored them, being fascinated by their rituals. In Java, he had the opportunity to take part in a royal feast. He, who graduated some wood carving training in his youth, was impressed so much by the dancers able to control even their tiniest movements, that he tried, during his trip aboard the vessel, to capture their grace in figures carved of fuel wood from the ship kitchen.
Sculpture reproduced directly after the original, in original size. Fine bronze, manually cast using the lost wax technique. Gold plated with 24 carat gold. Format: 8 x 31 x 7 cm (W/H/D). Limited edition, 980 exemplars, serially numbered and with signature and casting punch. ars mundi exclusive edition, created in cooperation with Nolde Foundation Seebüll. With serially numbered authenticity and limited edition certificate.
