About the Item
The Group is a bronze sculpture by French contemporary artist Martine Demal, dimensions are 40 × 21.5 × 5.5 cm (15.7 × 8.5 × 2.2 in).
The sculpture is signed and numbered, it is part of a limited edition of 8 editions + 4 artist’s proofs, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
This sculpture is part of the Primary Forms series. If body forms are the primary influence of the artist’s creative process, the creation of the artwork is also motivated by a desire to satisfy a dynamic requirement that contrasts the sculpture’s stillness. Concern for accuracy and precision lead the artist’s hands to seek a continual aesthetic improvement.
Martine Demal aspires to create sculptures that are dense yet light at the same time, sculptures that combine power and strength, using the magic of traditional bronze craftsmanship combined with elegance of form and proportion. She search for balance in almost fragile forms and proportions, taking full advantage of the possibilities that bronze offers her, despite its weight and density.

Martine Demal
With her contemporary sculptures, Martine Demal explores the different possibilities of bronze, pushing her chosen material to its limits while embarking on a journey of more than several decades toward self-realization and reflection.
Born in 1948, Demal graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1970. The French artist's career began in graphic design and ceramics. However, she discovered a passion for sculpting after meeting celebrated French sculptor Louis Derbré. Derbré invited Demal to become his student, but she declined, insisting she had to find her own style.
Inspired by the human body, Demal initially worked with live models. “In a human body, you have a landscape, a painting, a volume; you have everything,” she said. As her sculpting process evolved, Demal’s human sculptures transformed from figurative to more abstract forms.
From her workshop and atelier in Ivry-sur-Seine in the southeastern suburbs of Paris, Demal continues to challenge herself, seeking to create bronze sculptures that represent power and strength and materialize as blocky, dense forms as well as slender human figures. The interplay of shadow and light is a recurring theme in her abstract and figurative sculptures such as In Line (1994), The Passage (1997) and Writing is a Journey (2018).
Demal regularly exhibits her works in solo and group shows in France and throughout Europe and has won numerous awards. These include the Louis Derbré Prize, the Jacqueline Thome-Patenôtre Prize, a medal awarded by the town of Garches and the Pierre Gianadda Foundation Award, presented by the Académie des Beaux-Arts — Institut de France.

Wolfgang (Johann Wolfgang) Behl (1918 - 1994) was active/lived in Connecticut, Illinois / Germany. Known for Sculpture and as an architectural carver.
A carver,designer, and teacher, Wolfgang Behl was born in Berlin, Germany where he studied at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts. His teacher was otto Hitzberger, sculptor and architecture carver. I have seen some his work, particularly in carved wood compared to Constantin Brancusi although this one seems way more reminiscent of Alberto Giacometti. In 1939, Behl came to the United States and taught briefly in Pennsylvania at the Perkiomen School and in Rhode Island at the Rhode Island School of Design. There in 1943, he won the Joseph N. Eisendrath prize for sculpture. He also became a friend of Louis Mayer...
