Lot 499 | Ferdinand Lepcke
(1866 Coburg - 1909 Berlin)"Phryne". OriginaltitelBronze, in dunkel patiniert. Marke der Kunstgießerei Lauchhammer ("Monogramm "L" mit Zahnrad im Achteck); Expl-Nr. 4/10. Posthumer Guss, 20. Jahrhundert; Auf einer runden Plinthe stehende Aktfigur der griechischen Hetäre, sich ein Tuch umlegend. Die überlebensgroße, idealisierende Figur der "Phryne" gilt als eines der bedeutendsten Werke Lepckes. 1883-1890 studierte er an der Berliner Akademie, ab 1888 als Meisterschüler Fritz Schapers. 1891 zeichnete ihn die Preußische Akademie der Künste mit dem großen Staatspreis aus, der mit einem Stipendienjahr 1892/93 in Rom verbunden war. Von der 1907/08 modellierten, 1908 sowie 1909 auf den Großen Berliner Kunstausstellungen gezeigten "Phryne" existieren mehrere Lebzeitgüsse als Freiskulpturen in Parks und Plätzen bzw. in öffentlichem Besitz, unter anderem in Berlin und Coburg. Nach dem Tod des Künstlers verkaufte sein Bruder zahlreiche Modelle Lepckes an die Kunstgießerei Lauchhammer, die entscheidend zur weiteren Bekanntheit des Bildhauers beitrug.
