Jens Kräubig GUSTAV SEITZ - Porta d'Amoreedited by the Gustav Seitz Stiftung, Hamburg, Germanytext german, 72 illustrations, biography, bibliography, totally 112 pages25,5 x 19,5 cm, hardcover, edition of 1.000 ex., 1993ISBN 3-88829-105-4price € 21.-For the first time the late bronze reliefs of the German sculptor Gustav Seitz from the years 1963-1969 are completely published in this book, together with some preparatory drawings. The reliefs, having been presented in the German pavillon on the Biennale in Venice 1968, are a climax in the sculptor's œuvre. Gustav Seitz planned to join together most of the reliefs to the "Porta d' Amore" - a door with two leafs in bronze, now at the Kunst- und Gewerbemuseum in Hamburg, Germany.This door carries on the Christian tradition of portal-doors to a sensuous worldliness.
