About this artwork
The November Man had to be created on November 6, 2024:
I had been following the crisis of the traffic light government for some time, and Trump's election was imminent.
When the feared news came that the coalition had collapsed and Trump would govern America, I started working with clay that same day and effortlessly my feelings, and I believe those of many Germans, flowed into this sculpture.
The November man is the epitome of spontaneous, genuine… emotions that shape his facial expressions.
