Dierkes, Paul Untitled Alabaster on a wooden plinth. Approx. 48 x 34 x 22 cm. Organically soft contours, textured all around with fine indentations, give this shimmering alabaster sculpture a compelling three-dimensional quality.

His circle of friends included some of the most brilliant minds of his time: Hans Werner Richter, Günther Grass, the architects Egon Eiermann and Hans Poelzig, Yves Klein, Emil Nolde, and Wernher von Braun (see Gert Chesi, “Memories of Paul Dierkes,” cited from rabalderhaus.at, accessed August 27, 2026). Total height including plinth: 50.5 cm.
