Estimate value

Eichenholz. Majestätische Adlerskulptur auf Sockel, die Plinthe seitlich mit tiefer Signatur "Prof. Krieger". Gesamthöhe 61,5 cm. Kleine Spannungsrisse, rs. fünf kleine Wurmlöcher.
Wilhelm Krieger studiert nach einer Lehre zum Dekorationsmaler 1906/07 ohne Abschluss an der Kunstgewerbeschule München und widmet sich autodidaktisch der Bildhauerei, insbesondere von Tieren. Er wird Mitglied der Vereingten Werkstätten für Kunst im Handwerk, nimmt ab 1907 an Ausstellungen der Münchner Sezession sowie an den Großen Berliner Kunstausstellungen teil und wird 1927 durch das Bayerische Kultusministerium zum Professor h.c. ernannt.
Von 1937 bis 1944 nimmt er mit zahlreichen Tierskulpturen an den Großen Deutschen Kunstausstellungen in München teil, wo er u.a. 1939 mit dieser Adlerskulptur in Stein (Höhe 104 cm) vertreten ist. Noch größere Bekanntheit erreichte dieses Werk allerdings in der 1938 bei der Porzellanmanufaktur Allach vorgestellten Keramikversion (Modellnummer K 10), die mit einer Auflage von nur 52 Exemplaren zu den seltensten Adlerfiguren gehört und mit einer Höhe von 70 cm die größte aller Tierfiguren der PMA ist.
Professor Wilhelm Krieger (1877 - 1945) – a wooden model of his eagle sculpture designed for Porzellanmanufaktur Allach, circa 1938
Oak wood. Majestic sculpture of an eagle on a pedestal, the plinth with the signature "Prof. Krieger" deeply scored in the side. Total height 61.5 cm. Small tension cracks, five small wormholes on the back.
After an apprenticeship as a decorator in 1906/07, Wilhelm Krieger dropped out of his studies at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Munich to become a self-taught sculptor, particularly focusing on animals. He joined the Vereinigten Werkstätten für Kunst im Handwerk (United Workshops for Art in Craftsmanship), taking part from 1907 in the exhibitions organised by the Munich secession and in the Great Berlin Art Exhibitions. Appointed Professor h.c. by the Bavarian Ministry of Education and the Arts in 1927. From 1937 to 1944, he showed numerous animal sculptures in the Great German Art Exhibitions in Munich, in which he participated with this eagle sculpture in stone (104 cm) in 1937. Nonetheless, this work achieved even wider recognition in the ceramic version, presented by Porzellanmanufaktur Allach in 1938 (model number K 10). One of the rarest figures of an eagle in a series of just 52 copies and, measuring 70 cm, the largest of all animal figures produced by PMA.
