The Pythia was the name given to the priestess who prophesied at the ancient Oracle of Delphi. In the Temple of Apollo, she sat on a bronze tripod above a fissure in the earth from which gas billowed, inducing a trance. The oracle was the most important cult site of the Hellenistic period and was considered the center of the world.

Sculpture in fine bronze, hand-cast using the lost-wax process. Elaborately hand-patinated and partially polished. Limited edition of 90 numbered and signed pieces. Height 91 cm, width 50 cm, depth 16 cm. Weight 22 kg.

Special feature(s) / Context / About the artist:

Paul Wunderlich, like few other artists of our time, was one of the truly style-defining artists of modernism. "Of the commonplaces spread about his life's work, only one has substance: the realization that Paul Wunderlich became the unsurpassed master of lithography after Picasso." (Prof. Heinz Spielmann) "If one seeks the greatest master in the mastery of lithographic technique in all its possibilities, there is no doubt: the laurel wreath belonged to Paul Wunderlich." (Carl Vogel)
