Lifting
Beautiful bronze sculpture. I bought it myself in the late 1990s. It also appears, with a photo and mention, in the book "Zwaartekracht" (Gravity) by Theo Schreurs from 2008, under the chapter "Movement." This sculpture also stands at the Smurfit Kappa Paper Factory in Deventer.
Theo Schreurs, who died in 2024, was a sculptor in Deventer who created many sculptures for public spaces in the Netherlands. In 1992, Schreurs achieved national fame with his portrait of Joop den Uyl, which was displayed in the House of Representatives. His figurative work increasingly simplified its form, allowing the essence of the expression to be captured more effectively.
