• Communication frozen in concrete: Isa Genzken robs the historical world receiver of its function and simultaneously elevates it to an art object.
• A unique sculpture from one of the German artist's most sought-after groups of works.
• Last year, the art magazine Monopol crowned Isa Genzken the most influential personality in the art world in 2023.

The work will be included into the forthcoming catalogue raisonné. We are grateful to Galerie Buchholz, Cologne, for the kind support in cataloging this lot.
