    Walter Rotan (MD, 1912-2001), Young Gazelle with Grapes

    Est: $1,000 - $3,000

    circa 1935, the young gazelle depicted standing with one leg raised and holding a bunch of grapes in his mouth, signed to the base, mounted atop a black marble plinth. 20.5 x 19 x 6 in. Rotan studied at the Maryland Institute of Fine & Applied Arts and later with Albert Laessle at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. His work caught the eye of Anna Hyatt Huntington, who purchased a small bronze gazelle modeled by the artist in 1935 at the Philadelphia Zoo for the Gallery of Small Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens. In 1937, the Huntingtons commissioned Rotan to create a large scale version of Reclining Woman & Gazelle for installation in the sculpture gallery. The present lot is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Rotan's sculptures, whose boldly modeled and stylized works were included in exhibitions at the National Academy of Design, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Pennsylvania Academy.
