Johannes von Stumm One - Purple and Lemon, 2019 Coloured glass, formed in two pieces, interlocking The lower section inscribed 3/50 Johannes von Stumm 2019 30.5cm high, 30.5cm wide, 10cm deep Similar works by this artist retail at: £2,800 Johannes von Stumm Johannes von Stumm s unique combination of three different materials has attracted public and critical acclaim in a decade of successful exhibitions, both in the UK and abroad. His startlingly original sculpture, which engages continually with risk and a defiance of accepted laws, joins iron, granite and glass to create abstract or reduced figurative works in which apparently conflicting materials exist in complex harmony Von Stumm s choice of media and instinct for experimentation is deeply rooted in his background, in a childhood and adolescence spent at the foot of the Alp s with long winters. At eighteen, during a visit to Paris, von Stumm was deeply moved by the power and beauty which he saw in Rodin s sculpture; he immediately began to work figuratively with clay and plaster, first at home and then at the Academy of Fine arts in Munich; six months spent in a quiet Italian village strengthened his desire to test the potential of glass, stone and steel combinations. There is clearly evident spirituality in Von Stumm s sculpture, an expansive wisdom which draws its richness from his fascination with Buddhism, Hinduism, Shamanism and ice and rocks.
