Todesfigur
Sold
Marble
75 x 195 x 57 cm.
Todesfigur is a monumental marble sculpture in which Christian Lemmerz transforms the classical draped figure into a spectral, faceless presence. The work radiates a quiet, overwhelming stillness — an encounter with death not as violence, but as an enveloping, almost tender force.
Carved from Carrara marble with extraordinary precision, the flowing drapery creates a paradox between weight and weightlessness, concealment and revelation. The figure’s anonymity intensifies its universal symbolism: a timeless embodiment of mortality, grief, and transcendence.
Lemmerz’ Todesfigur stands as both an homage to sculptural tradition and a profound meditation on the human condition.
