Raumplastik (Kleine Reux). 1961.
Sculpture . Welded stainless steel rods, in silver gray, on basalt base.
Unique object. 32.5 x 26.8 x 25.5 cm (12.7 x 10.5 x 10 in). Base: 5 x 4,5 x 4,5 cm ( 1,9 x 1,7 x 1,7 in).
This work was made before Kricke worked on the large sculpture "Große Reux" in the Park des Chateau de Reux in Normandy and can be considered as a kind of preliminary work for the monumental one.

We are grateful to Sabine Kricke-Güse and Dr. Ernst-Gerhard Güse for the kind support in cataloging this lot. The work will be included into the forthcoming catalog raisonné.

"My problem is not mass, not figure, but space and motion - space and time. I don't want a real space or real motion (mobile), I want to depict motion. I am trying to concretize the unity of space and time."
Norbert Kricke, 1954 (quote after: Künstler Kritisches Lexikon der Gegenwartskunst, Munich 1988, p. 2)
