The artwork, titled “Ahatfenster,” was created by the artist Sigmar Polke in 2009. This piece belongs to the “New European Painting” art movement and falls under the genre of design. It is part of a series titled “Grossmünster (Zurich), Stained Glass Windows (2009).”
In the artwork, a stained glass window is displayed, intricately arranged with multiple agate slices. The window’s design is composed of various hues of brown, orange, and beige, with occasional splashes of black, white, and a striking azure blue piece. The agates are segmented into irregularly shaped cells, allowing natural light to filter through, creating a beautiful interplay of translucency and color. Its arrangement and the usage of natural stone elements evoke a sense of organic beauty and intricate craftsmanship, harmonizing both natural forms and artistic expression.
