Description
Cracking Art Group (founded in 1993) Bear Made of moulded resin, bearing the Cracking Art Group stamp on the underside H. 125 cm W. 47 cm D. 30 cm The origins of the ‘Cracking Art’ bear are linked to a news story: this work came into being in 2006, when a black bear wandering between Austria and Germany was shot because it was considered dangerous. It is an animal that embodies both an affinity with and an opposition to humans: it is a wild and ferocious creature, yet, as the teddy bear is a toy traditionally placed in children’s cots, it is also associated with a sense of playfulness and the idea of protection.
