With the monogram and the foundry mark "W. Füssel 1 Berlin" on the base. Ca. 145 x 80 x 48 cm (57 x 31.4 x 18.8 in).
Second version of the Vogelstele (bird stele) with a cylindrical bronze base, developed in 1975/77, replacing the rectangular granite base of the first version from 1969.

• Lifetime cast from the central group of the partly polished bronzes.
• Charming material contrast with the recurring theme of the bird.
• Three partly polished bronzes by the artist from the same creative period (Vertical Motif I-III, 1966-67) are on display in the sculpture garden of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
