KLIMSCH, FRITZ
1870 Frankfurt a. M. - 1960 Saig
Title: Versonnen.
Date: 1931 (design).
Technique: Bronze, black-green patinated.
Measurement: Ca. 73 x 65 x 48cm.
Enclosed with this work is a letter from Fritz Klimsch dated January 1940, in which he explains the fact that the sculpture is not signed:
'...With the figure 'Versonnen', it is difficult to attach the name, as the figure has no plinth. Attaching it to the foot was not an option for me, so I left it off....The figure exists in 6 copies'.
We would like to thank Mr. Florian Klimsch, Frankfurt a.M., for the kind, scientific support.
Provenance:
- Private collection, Bavaria (since 1940, directly from the artist)
