The sculptures in this collection are the very first examples of works that are described in the oeuvre as the ‘third period of sculpture’. They are statement of his ideas and imagery, each a kind of ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’ that is, architecture, painting and sculpture combined. They are constructivist as well as expressionist and reveal a classic sense of dignity in their proportions.

The catalogue is distributed by Buchhandlung Walther König.

Woodland Path represents an important addition to the small authenticated œuvre by the seminal Dutch Golden Age artist, Hercules Segers (c.1589/90 Haarlem – c.1633/40 The Hague). Woodland Path is the only accepted forest view painting by Segers, one of a larger number by him described in old sources; the others have long since been lost.
