Lothar Dellago. 70 years of sculpture / 70 Jahre Bildhauerei / 70 anni di scultura

The “Art in the Old Town” project, which brings the works of well-known artists into the old town of Klausen, is growing steadily and will be displayed in 29 shop windows in the upper and lower town this autumn. The exhibition is a tribute to the sculptor Lothar Dellago and his 70 years of creative work.
Dellago’s sculptures – imbued with music – are dancers who sway their bodies to inaudible sounds and express an irrepressible joy in life, movement and mutual encounters. The players, on the other hand, appear almost static, portraying well-known figures from the world of music. Art arises from the imagination, but Dellago’s work is above all mental labour: “I try to get to the heart of the matter with just a few strokes.” His art is the condensation of the line on a smooth surface, the reduction of the narrative to the essentials: the essence of the line.
