The exhibition Before the Law not only demonstrates the persistent topicality and expressiveness of postwar figurative sculpture, but through its historical context also puts into focus the humanistic potential of contemporary art. In times of increasing insecurity and fast-paced living, it seems necessary to address a type of art that insists on earnestly coming to terms with the human condition.
