An sich angedacht zu meinem 30 Jahre Wien Jubiläum als Zeichen meiner Zuneigung zu dieser großartigen Stadt, dann geplant als 50 Jahre Kim Okura Anniversary Werkserie — entlasse ich das beste Stück mit einer Erstauflage von 9 Skulpturen heute am 10.12.2024 in die Welt als das was es ist und in der Hoffnung, dass seine Magie das ihre tut.
Originally conceived for my 30-year Vienna anniversary as a token of my affection for this magnificent city, later planned as part of my 50 Years of Kim Okura anniversary series — today, on December 10, 2024, I release this timeless symbol into the world with a first edition of 9 sculptures, as what it truly is, and in the hope that its magic will work its wonders.
To celebrate the day, I’m wearing »L’eau À la Rose« from Maison Francis Kurkdjian — I think it’s the perfect fit.
This timeless symbol of joy, love and peace took me years to realize, I am glad its finally done. A big thank you to David and Ziggy for the support. ;)
