Sculpture pair “Bull and Bear” by Jürgen Götze, bronze version

Born in Coburg in 1964, sculptor Jürgen Götze prefers to call himself a "sculpteur" rather than a sculptor. For 15 years, he worked as a modeler at one of Germany's leading porcelain manufacturers. Alongside this, he created numerous works based on his own designs, inspired by studies of Expressionism and Art Nouveau. Since 1999, Götze has worked freelance in his own studio in Moggenbrunn. In April 2006, Bavarian Television featured a segment from the artist's studio as part of its "Fascination Art" series. Jürgen Götze exhibits his work both nationally and internationally, including at ART Innsbruck in 2013. The artist's particular focus is on figurative sculpture. His works, inspired by his exploration of natural forms, are characterized by an emphasis on expansive forms rendered in a clear, linear style.
