St. Katharina (St. Catherine)
A towering black figure of St. Catherine rendered in plaster with black pigment, Katharina Fritsch's sculpture presents the saint in a serene yet commanding presence. The deep, matte black surface flattens the form into an almost graphic silhouette, stripping away detail while amplifying the iconic power of the religious image. Fritsch's choice of her own patron saint creates an intimate yet conceptually charged dialogue between the artist's identity and the enduring symbolism of sacred representation.
