Die figurativen Skulpturen von Balkenhol verkörpern keine idealtypische Überhöhung wie in der klassischen Bildhauertradition, denn ihre Gestalt ist angenehm vertraut. [G] Unlike the statues of the classical tradition, Balkenhol's figurative sculptures do not embody an idealised hyperbole; their form is agreeably familiar.

Und um diesen Vollzug kenntlich zu machen, bedarf es bisweilen auch der Übertreibung als "erschließender Grenzüberschreitung", womit sich García Düttmann klar zu Adorno bekennt. [G] And to mark this consummation, Düttmann occasionally has need of hyperbole as a form of "revealing transgression", which clearly evinces his allegiance to Adorno.
