Georg Kolbe
(1877 Waldheim - 1947 Berlin) nach
"Klage" (auch betitelt "Klagende"). Originaltitel
Bronze, braun patiniert, 1921/1978. Späterer, posthumer Guss von 1978, in einer Edition im Auftrag der Rockefeller-Familie, wohl nur in niedriger, einstelliger Auflage ausgeführt. Unter dem rechten Fuß monogr.; Kolbe, dem 1912 mit seiner später von der Nationalgalerie erworbenen "Tänzerin" in der Berliner Secession der künstlerische Durchbruch gelang, wurde 1919 als Mitglied in der Preußischen Akademie der Künste aufgenommen und wirkte 1919-1921 als Präsident der Freien Secession Berlin. Die vorliegende, ursprünglich 1921 von Kolbe geschaffene Aktfigur einer knienden jungen Frau mit weit ausgebreiteten Armen und gesenktem Kopf gehört zu den bedeutendsten und ausdrucksvollsten Plastiken aus dieser expressionistischen Periode im Oeuvre Kolbes. 1921/22 entstand nur eine kleine Auflage von 12 oder 13 Güssen (Exemplare befinden sich außer in der Nationalgalerie u. a. im Museum of Modern Art in New York). 1921 zeigte Kolbe die "Klage" erstmals in einer Einzelausstellung in der Galerie Paul Cassirer in Berlin, danach in vielen Ausstellungen, u. a. 1924 in der Akademie der Künste und 1931 im Museum of Modern Art in New York. H. 39 cm; B. 54 cm.
Das Georg Kolbe-Museum in Berlin führt die "Klage" unter der Wvz.-Nr. W 21.005.
