Item Overview

Description

KUNST IM DRITTEN REICH - Professor Kurt Schmid-Ehmen (1901 - 1968) - "Liebende" (tr. "Lovers")
Half relief in plaster on a wooden base. Erotic depiction of two naked lovers embracing. Slightly damaged, restored in places. Height circa 107 cm. As an individual piece, this plaster relief has an interesting history. Despite being produced as early as 1942, the scarcity of materials meant that it could not be cast in bronze until 1958. In 2008, the bronze relief was sold for 9,000 euro as lot 3571 in the Hermann Historica Auction 56. Similar works created by Schmid-Ehmen during the 1920s/30s obviously influenced this relief, which is a direct testament to the mature, masterly style of the artist.
