Germany - The Berlin Wall at its Greatest Moments

Description: THE FALL OF THE SOVIET MOO-NION This fiber glass sculpture represents one of the most important historical moments that attracts art lovers of all generations. In 2008, the sculpture won first prize among 6,000 entrants in a national competition sponsored by “Lucerne – the art of dairy”. The cow-shaped sculpture represents the Berlin Wall at its grandest moment, when it was being torn down. This is shown on the left side of the sculpture with graffiti, as a cow is seen knocking it down with a hammer. For the right side of the cow, the artist chose to depict the other half of the wall, East Berlin, which in times of Soviet control was heavily regulated, as shown by the lack of graffiti and the presence of a Russian soldier. There the soldier is shown looking at a solitary poster, of a man (or cow) jumping over the wall to freedom. The face of the cow is rather simple; it was painted to look like Joseph Stalin, the Soviet leader who helped establish the communist regime in Germany. The sculpture is made from resine and fiberglass. It is about 7’ long, 4.5’ tall and 2.5’ wide, painted with a weather-resistant acrylic, and covered with a glossy lacquer to ensure its durability About the author: Arturo Lee painted the sculpture in 2008 while he was a student at The Woodlands High School and The Woodlands Academy of Art. He was voted the most artistic student in his class. Today he is an accomplished art director at an advertising firm in Dallas, Texas. Due to the size of the piece, it cannot be shipped.
