Bronze with golden brown patina
Base with monogram and the foundry mark "H. Noack Berlin Friedenau"
Dr. Oswald Goetz Collection, Frankfurt a. M. (acquired directlöy from the artist, ever since family-owned).
Sitzende . 1928/29. Bronze with golden brown patina. Not in Berger. Base with monogram and the foundry mark "H. Noack Berlin Friedenau". Presumably one of 9 casts made between 1928 and 1929. Another cast was executed in 1934. Height: Ca. 25.5 cm (10 in). Cast by art foundry Hermann Noack, Berlin-Friedenau. [JS]. • With the figure of the " Sitzende " (sitter), made a year after the death of his wife and during a subsequent deep crisis, Kolbe attained his most balanced and strongest statement of the closed form. • Very rare. One of only ten known lifetime casts. Posthumous casts are unknown. • To date only 3 copies have been offered on the international auction market (source: www.artprice.com). • Since the work was made it was part of the collection of the Frankfurt art historian Dr. Oswald Goetz (1928-1938 curator at the Städel Museum) and has been family-owned ever since . Accompanied by an expertise issued by Dr. Ursel Berger, Berlin, on April 20, 2023 (in copy).
