Wawaholz, painted. Literature: Matthias Winzen (ed.), "Stephan Balkenhol", exhibition catalogue, Cologne 2006, pp. 50/51Galerie Löhrl (ed.), "Stephan Balkenhol. Heads", exh. cat., Mönchengladbach 1991, cat. no. 17. // This companion "Kleine Kopfsäule" by Stephan Balkenhol features a carved female head with a distinctive black bob hairstyle mounted on a cylindrical wooden column painted in pale green-gray tones. The simplified yet recognizable facial features and deliberately rough-hewn surface reflect Balkenhol's signature approach to contemporary figuration. Working within the tradition of German wood carving, the artist creates an intimate dialogue between the viewer and the quietly observed figure, whose neutral expression invites contemplation rather than narrative interpretation within the broader context of his Kopfsäulen series.

What is contemporary art?
Contemporary art refers to avant-garde or innovative art created in the recent past or present day. The exact starting point of contemporary art varies depending on the institution, often tied to the founding year of museums or galleries that showcase the style. Contemporary art is characterized by its focus on current ideas, diverse media, and the exploration of new concepts and techniques.
