Contemporary German sculptor Stephan Balkenhol is known for his painted statues crafted from single blocks of wood. Totem-like sculptures, they are reminiscent of both folk art and medieval sculpture. This volume, published to accompany his first major retrospective, presents works from the early 1980s to the present.
