The artwork titled “Ahatfenster” was crafted by Sigmar Polke in 2009. It belongs to the art movement known as New European Painting and is categorized within the genre of design. This piece is part of the series “Grossmünster (Zurich), Stained Glass Windows (2009).”
The artwork displays an intricate assembly of variously hued agate slices meticulously arranged within a stained glass window. The natural translucency and unique patterns of the agate stones create a sense of depth and dynamism as light permeates through them. Set within a stone archway, the window serves both as an artistic and structural component, integrating seamlessly with its architectural surroundings. The composition is characterized by a vibrant range of colors, including earthy tones interspersed with vivid blues and whites, which collectively contribute to an evocative and mesmerizing visual experience.
