Lot 254 | Paar monumentale Figuren "Blaue Fische" (Quastenflosser)
als Wanddekoration Porzellan, in verschiedenen Blautönen changierend glasiert. Die spektakulären Fische in unterschiedlichen Stellungen aus vier Hohlformen gefertigt, Rückseite abgeflacht zur Wandmontage. Faszinierender Blickfang. Entwurf Jeanne Grut (1927-2009), 1963. L. 106 cm und 116 cm. Die Bildhauerin Jeanne Grut war ab 1958 für die Porzellanmanufaktur Royal Kopenhagen als Entwerferin tätig und wurde insbesondere mit kleinen, nach Naturstudien geschaffenen Tierplastiken bekannt. Mit dem blauen Quastenflosser, genannt "The Blue Fish" oder "Coelacanth", schuf sie ein ungemein lebensnahes Abbild dieser vor mehr als 320 Millionen Jahren die Weltmeere durchstreifenden Spezies. Er stellt ihre größte Keramikarbeit dar. Es existieren drei Versionen. Ein 120 cm langes Exemplar erhielt der Kaiser von Japan bei einem Besuch in der Königlichen Porzellanfabrik 1971 als Geschenk. Seither wurde nur eine kleine Anzahl an Exemplaren ausgeführt. Vgl. The Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory 1775-1975, Firmenschrift 1975, S. 119; Leif Lautrup-Larsen, Stentøj, Den kongelige Porcelænsfabrik, 2007, S. 259 f. A spectacular pair of Coelacanth - blue fish figures. Designed by the Danish female sculptor Jeanne Grut for Royal Copenhagen. Blue glazed stoneware. Dänemark. Jeanne Grut für Royal Kopenhagen. Nach 1971.
