I purchased this book 5 years ago after seeing the Blood Alter in Rothenberg and more of his work in Wurzburg.  I recently saw a small limewood sculpure at the RISD.  It was across the room, but I knew instantly it was his work. (Picture attached)

You can also see extremely high resolution pictures of some of his work at the Google Art Project.
