• One of the most significant and virtuosic composers in music history is brought to life in contemporary sculpture.
• The figure deliberately combines masculine and feminine elements, as well as delicacy and strength.
• A monumental bronze sculpture of Mozart by the artist is front of St. Mark’s Church on Ursulinenplatz in Salzburg’s Old Town since 2005.
• The tactile surface, featuring indentations, incisions, roughened areas, and material growths, is absolutely characteristic of Markus Lüpertz’s sculptural works.
• Outstanding provenance.

The authenticity of this work has been verbally confirmed by the Markus Lüpertz Studio. We are grateful for the kind assistance.
