Princess Tuvstarr sits despairingly at the edge of the dark forest star. The fairies have taken her crown, the forest raven her dress and finally she has lost her necklace in the water. At the edge of the forest star, she remained to this day. You can glimpse her spirit in the flower named after her - Tuvstarr. John Bauer's iconic pictures of Princess Tuvstarr were published with "The Tale of the Moose Bull Skutt and the Little Princess Tuvstarr" by Helge Kjelli in "Among Elves and Goblins" in 1913.
Since early childhood , Helle Bang has been inspired by the beautiful mystery of nature. From the girl's childhood fascination around the Limfjord to the artist's eternal source of inspiration and creation. In nature there is both heaven and earth, energy and harmony.
This is where our contemporary artist finds his calling to create an enchanting homage in bronze – a tribute to art, history, nature and the magical world of John Bauer . The sculptures are handcrafted from scratch in clay inspired by John Bauer's famous fairy tale world and cast in bronze in a limited edition of 36. After casting, the works are carefully polished and processed by the artist.
Galleri Melefors together with the artist Helle Bang donate SEK 1000 per sold sculpture from the Bauer Collection Edition 36 for the benefit of Lisa Bauer & The Bauer Quartet and their work in setting John Bauer's artwork to music and song. For all sold works in the edition of 11 different works, the scholarship amounts to a total of SEK 396,000.
