Die Aegineten consists of 14 large-format sculptures crafted from wrought iron, placed on pedestals of aged oak. These pieces serve as modern, nearly abstract reinterpretations of the ancient warriors of the temple of Aphaea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExhibited in an extraordinary dialogue with the Glyptothek's permanent sculpture collection, these sculptures are complemented by a selection of 30 drawings, watercolours, studies, and sculptures that explore various themes. Calatrava's fascination with the human body and nature, key influences on his architectural style, is vividly demonstrated through this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362979496172,"sku":"9783777440057","price":80.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/26190293483532.jpg?v=1772908773","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/santiago-calatrava-in-the-glyptothek-bilingual-edition-9783777440057","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
