Weltpremiere: Mainzelmännchen - Exk

Weltpremiere: Mainzelmännchen - Exklusiv-Edition bei ars mundi zum 50jährigen Bühnenjubiläum in 2013

Die wahren Fernsehstars tragen weder Smoking noch Abendkleid - sie tragen Zipfelmützen. Und sie blicken auf eine fast 50 Jahre andauernde Karriere zurück. Anlass genug, den Mainzelmännchen ein kleines Denkmal zu setzen - in edler Bronze und in Steinguss.

Die Mainzelmännchen sind Kult. Seit dem 2. April 1963 begleiten sie unseren Alltag und viele von uns haben Anton, Berti, Conni, Det, Edi und Fritzchen bereits als Kind ins Herz geschlossen. Nach fast 50 Jahren Fernsehkarriere mit über 40.000 ihrer kurzen Spots gibt es nun 3 Mainzelmännchen zum ersten Mal in Bronze und Steinguss - geformt von ihrem geistigen Vater, dem Grafiker und Bühnenbauer Wolf Gerlach höchstpersönlich und von ihm und dem ZDF in streng limitierter Auflage exklusiv für ars mundi freigegeben.
So wie die kleinen Fernsehstars Bild für Bild mit Bleistiftzeichnungen entstanden, sollte auch ihre plastische Umsetzung von höchstem handwerklichen Niveau sein. Die von uns gewählte Kunstgießerei garantiert höchste Sorgfalt bei Guss und Nachbearbeitung wie etwa dem Schleifen und Ziselieren des Rohgusses von Hand bis hin zur Patinierung. Gerade die mehrfarbige Patinierung ist dabei eine besondere Herausforderung. Denn so wie jedes der Mainzelmännchen seinen Namen und seinen eigenen Charakter hat, so ist es auch an seiner Kleidung zu erkennen. Um etwa Anton in ein rotes Hemd und eine blaue Hose zu kleiden, ist ein außerordentlich aufwändiges Patinierungsverfahren notwendig, bei der die Farben in genau abgestimmter Reihenfolge und bei unterschiedlichen Temperaturen aufgetragen werden müssen. Das erfordert langjährige handwerkliche Erfahrung und Fingerspitzengefühl des Patineurs.
Das Ergebnis sind kleine Kunstwerke, wie es den Mainzelmännchen gebührt. Und dass sie in künstlerischer Hinsicht ihren berühmten gezeichneten Vorbildern in nichts nachstehen, bestätigt Wolf Gerlach mit seiner Unterschrift - jedes Exemplar trägt seine Signatur.

Mainzelmännchen "Anton", Edition in Bronzeguss:
Die auf 499 Exemplare limitierte Auflage in mehrfarbig patinierter Bronze wird mit großem handwerklichem Aufwand im traditionellen Wachsausschmelzverfahren gegossen. Jedes Exemplar entsteht exklusiv für ars mundi, trägt Gerlachs Signatur und ist jeweils einzeln nummeriert. Mit handnummeriertem Zertifikat. Format ca. 13 x 15 x 11 cm (B/H/T). Gewicht ca. 2,3 kg.
