The whole person is contained within the head. And there is the empty head, which can take in everything and give everything back.” (Horst Antes, in: Horst Antes, Hermann Collection, exhibition catalog, Kunstmuseum Hannover and Sprengel Collection, Bremen/Hannover 1983, p. 26). Published by Edition Volker Huber, Offenbach. A magnificent specimen featuring the intended, expressive corrosion.
