A pair of extraordinary "faun" bookends, designed by axel kasseböhmer.
the bookends are monogrammed "ak" in the casting and stamped with the numbers 19 and 20 of 80. They were issued as the annual gift of the kunstverein für die rheinlande und westfalen (art association for the rhineland and westphalia), düsseldorf, in 1990. Literature: annual gift of the kunstverein für die rheinlande und westfalen 1990 (illustration in the kunstverein catalog: annual gifts 1990, cat. No. 13).
in 1989, axel kasseböhmer created four paintings (oil on canvas) entitled "landscape with faun," which likely served as inspiration for the design.
