Est: €1,200 - €1,800
Lovet-Lorski, Boris. Lithographs, Volume I. 2 Bl. Titel und Impressum sowie 10 in Bleistift signierten Lithographien auf Montval-Velin. 39 x 29,5 cm (Blattgröße). Lose Blätter in silberner Original-Leinenmappe (diese mit Gebrauchsspuren, etwas berieben) mit rotgeprägtem DTitel. 1929. -- Eines von 250 Exemplaren (Gesamtauflage). Die Lithographien jeweils signiert "Boris Lovet-Lorski", zudem auf dem Titelblatt gewidmet und signiert "Boris". -- Der Architekt, Bildhauer und Graphiker studierte an der Kaiserlichen Kunstakademie in St. Petersburg bei G. R. Zaleman. 1920 emigrierte Lovet-Lorski in die Vereinigten Staaten, ließ sich in New York City nieder und erlangte hier Bekanntheit, vor allem als Bildhauer. Lovet-Lorskis Themen waren zuvorderst weibliche Akt- und Pferdedarstellungen, die er im Geist des französischen Art déco in souveräner Stilisierung umsetzte.

Seine erste Einzelausstellung fand 1925 in der Grace Horn Gallery in Boston statt, später stellte er regelmäßig bei Wildenstein aus; von 1926 bis 1932 lebte er in Paris, wo im Jahr 1929 Adolphe Braun & Co., Paris, zwei Portfolios mit jeweils 10 Lithographien Lovet-Lorskis veröffentlichte; die Gesamtauflage des hier vorliegenden Teils 1 betrug 261 Exemplare.

Boris Lovet-Lorski Entwined Cranes Brass Sculpture
Est: $1,000 - $2,000
Beautiful brass art deco sculpture entitled "Entwined Cranes", circa 1960. Unsigned. Sculptor and graphic artist Boris Lovet-Lorski (1894-1973) was born in Lithuania. He studied at the Imperial Academy of Art in St. Petersburg and moved to the United States in 1920, settling in New York City. He became an American citizen in 1925. Boris Lovet-Lorski's sculpted heads have been described as sensitive, idealized and classically stylized with simplified, atmospheric forms and staring, pupil-less eyes, that yet capture the individual look and feeling of the sitter. Some viewers perceive an Egyptian influence. The sculptor is noted for bronze female figures with impossibly narrow, boyish hips, and bodies broadening as they rise to the shoulders and wide-spread arms held behind their heads like flowers on a stem. These women were created by the artist to be mechanized, gleaming and streamlined like the latest airplanes, motorcars and other machines worshiped by 20th-Century technology and finding particular expression in Art Deco. Size: 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 x 62 in.

Boris Lovet-Lorski Entwined Cranes Brass Sculpture
Est: $2,000 - $3,000
Beautiful brass art deco sculpture entitled "Entwined Cranes", circa 1960. Unsigned. Sculptor and graphic artist Boris Lovet-Lorski (1894-1973) was born in Lithuania. He studied at the Imperial Academy of Art in St. Petersburg and moved to the United States in 1920, settling in New York City. He became an American citizen in 1925. Boris Lovet-Lorski's sculpted heads have been described as sensitive, idealized and classically stylized with simplified, atmospheric forms and staring, pupil-less eyes, that yet capture the individual look and feeling of the sitter. Some viewers perceive an Egyptian influence. The sculptor is noted for bronze female figures with impossibly narrow, boyish hips, and bodies broadening as they rise to the shoulders and wide-spread arms held behind their heads like flowers on a stem. These women were created by the artist to be mechanized, gleaming and streamlined like the latest airplanes, motorcars and other machines worshiped by 20th-Century technology and finding particular expression in Art Deco. Size: 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 x 62 in.
