Lot 476 | Gerhard Marcks
(1889 Berlin - 1981 Burgbrohl/Eifel)
"Kleine Staffelläufer". Originaltitel
Bronze, goldbraun patiniert, 1956. Künstler-Signet (Phönix). Eins von 5 Expl.; Lebzeit-Guss Barth, Berlin. Wvz. Rudloff 651. Umrisshaft stilisierte, moderne Darstellung zweier männlicher Läufer als Aktfiguren bei der Stabübergabe auf einer unebenen Bahn. Die Unmittelbarkeit des roh belassenen, nicht weiter überarbeiteten Modells drückt sich nicht zuletzt in einer überaus lebendigen Oberflächenstrukturierung aus. In den Jahren 1956/57 schuf Marcks eine Werkreihe mit Staffelläufer-Motiven als Zeichnungen, Grafiken und Bronzen. Die im selben Jahr entstandene, weiter ausgearbeitete und in der Oberfläche weich verschliffene Gruppe "Große Staffellläufer", die formal auf diesen "Kleinen Staffelläufern" basiert, fand in zwei Exemplaren u. a. 1959 vor dem Stadion in Hannover Aufstellung. Das dynamische Motiv des Läufers und der Staffelläufer im sportlichen Wettkampf durchzieht das Oeuvre des Bildhauers seit seiner Tätigkeit als Meister am Bauhaus (1919-1924) und der Burg Giebichenstein (1925-1933). H. 37 cm; B. 42 cm.
Golden brown patinated bronze, 1956. Artist's signiert One of an edition of five, lifetime-cast by Barth, Berlin.
