Detailed description

Sculpture "Standing with Jug" (design 1928, remodelled), bronze reduction

She was a student of the great Henri Matisse and one of the first, if not the first, German female sculptor of distinction. Defamed as "degenerate" in the Third Reich, some of her early works survived the Nazi era and the war only by chance. This sculpture is one of the few surviving works before the Second World War. Its bronze demonstrates the artist's powerful and, at the same time, sensually concentrated creative power.

Cast directly from the original and reduced in size (reduction). Sculpture in fine bronze, cast by hand using the Lost-Wax-Process and patinated. Limited edition of 199 copies, individually numbered and signed, with foundry hallmark. Size 6,5 x 32 x 5,5 cm. Weight 1,5 kg. ars mundi Exclusive Edition.

About Marg Moll

1884-1977 – German sculptress, painter, author

Marg Moll is considered the only German sculptor student of the French Fauve artist Henri Matisse. The Städel graduate adopted from her teacher the concept of the balance of a body and the gathering of details – the beginning of abstraction. Early on, Moll devoted herself to sculptures and created her first sculptural works long before Käthe Kollwitz. This also makes her the first female sculptor of Classical Modernism.

During the Nazi years, her works were considered degenerate. Many pieces even ended up being lost. In 1969, Moll was awarded the Great Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2010, one of her sculptures, "The Dancer" (1929), was found during an excavation in front of the Red City Hall in Berlin.
