Paul Wunderlich Minotaur Bronze Sculpture

About the Item

Bronze and brass sculpture by German artist Paul Wunderlich (1927-2010) of a Minotaur, complete with interchangeable large and small phallus. Great table or console sculpture as it stands over 30 inches tall. I first saw this incredible sculpture at an antique shop in Nice, France and loved it. And knew I had to have it! Wunderlich is known as a painter, sculptor and lithographer with a complex and comprehensive body of work in museums worldwide as well as many private collections. Minotaur is incised, numbered and with foundry mark Wunderlich along with edition number of 257. Comes with it's own blue jewelry box for the phallus which is double sided.
