“Veiled Beauty,” a sandstone torso by Veit Korn, is a mesmerizing exploration of the female form, sculpted from green reed sandstone. This unique piece harmonizes the elegance of classical sculpture with contemporary artistry, showcasing the subtle interplay between raw material and refined craftsmanship. The fragmented yet graceful contours evoke themes of transformation and the timeless beauty found in imperfection. The surface treatments—chiseling, bush-hammering, grinding, and selective shellac patination—enhance the sandstone’s natural textures and earthy tones, lending the sculpture a dynamic and tactile presence. With its balance of strength and fragility, “Veiled Beauty” invites viewers to contemplate the hidden depths of form and meaning. Accompanied by a signed certificate, this work is a testament to Korn’s exceptional talent in capturing the essence of beauty and artistry in stone.
