Exhibition cat. "August Gaul. The Alfons and Marianne Kottmann Collection", Museums of the City of Hanau 21.06 - 04.09.2011, p. 38.
Provenance:
Kottmann Collection, Hanau, acquired from the family estate of August Gaul's family doctor, Leonard Rautenberg.
As a commissioned work for the new building of the Kunsthalle Kiel, August Gaul produced two portal figures in the form of lying bisons between 1909 and 1913. A few years earlier he had already executed a monumental group of fighting bisons as a fountain in Königsberg. In this context, Gaul noted that he was very attracted by the contrast between these mighty primeval animals and their massive, resting bodies. As a result, plaster studies were made, which ultimately differed only in some details from the portal figures in Kiel, which were executed in shell limestone
