Product information "Georg Kolbe: Sculpture 'Grief' (1921), bronze"
In 1912, Georg Kolbe caused a sensation in Berlin with his 'Dancer' - his most famous work to date. The theme of (expressive) dance and expressive, even ecstatic movement pervaded his sculptural work well into the 1920s, as in his Kneeling Woman created in 1921. In the decade between these two works, Kolbe was awarded the title of professor (1918) and - together with Ernst Barlach and Wilhelm Lehmbruck - was admitted to the Prussian Academy of Arts (1919). In the 1920s, he was undisputedly regarded as one of the most important sculptors in Germany, and so he also attracted the attention of major art collectors around the world. A copy later found its way into the legendary art collection of Nelson Rockefeller; it was the model for our exclusive edition. Original: Rockefeller Collection/The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Sculpture in fine bronze, patinated. Cast by hand using the lost wax technique. Moulded directly from the original.
