Monk (Mönch)

1997/99

Katharina Fritsch's 'Monk' ('Mönch', 1997–1999) is a life-size polyester figure of a hooded monk, coated in the artist's signature flat matte black. Stark, archaic, and profoundly silent, it is one of a series of emblematic religious figures in Fritsch's sculpture. Art Institute of Chicago.
