Elmgreen & Dragset - The Other He, 2018

Starting price 20.000 EUR

 Show bid increments

Result:
24.000 EUR

A nude male reclines on a rock in this smaller version of Elmgreen & Dragset’s “Han”, which is permanently installed on the waterfront in front of Kronborg Castle in Elsingore, Denmark. The sculpture is a masculine interpretation of the historic bronze statue, “The Little Mermaid” by Edvard Eriksen. By replicating the reclining bodily position, the pensive look and longing gaze of its female counterpart, The Other He is confronting some of the conventions of heroic and masculine gesture in public and commemorative sculptural traditions. The Other He initiates further commentary on contemporary tendencies relating to differences in gender and perhaps, more broadly, ‘otherness’ itself within the history of art.
