Graceful ladies. Ladies from Graz. The title of this figural group offers up a wordplay, combining both something graceful as well as the stilted artificiality of models on a catwalk. Various objects have been placed on the heads made of busts and are worn as fashionable hats: ploughing tools, a bone, a bottle dryer (which experts in art history will immediately connect with the name Marcel Duchamp, but which here acts as a light sunhat).
