• Graceful, incredibly intimate and seemingly inseparable pair of figures by one of the great German sculptors of the 20th century.
• She began her sculpting career even before Käthe Kollwitz, Emy Roeder and Renée Sintenis and was a student of Henri Matisse in Paris.
• In 1928, she visited the Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncusi in his Paris studio, an encounter that had a lasting impact on her work.
• Reference to Brâncusi's famous “Kiss” from 1907/08 is evident in “Lovers”, but with the soft, flowing lines, the artist found her very own artistic expression and an independent formal language.
• To date, only one other copy of this bronze has been offered on the international auction market (source: artprice.com)
• After a stop at the Museum Wiesbaden - Hessisches Landesmuseum für Kunst und Natur, the Edwin Scharff Museum in Neu-Ulm currently presents the acclaimed exhibition "Gemischtes Doppel. Die Molls und die Purrmanns - Zwei Künstlerpaare der Moderne (April 26 – August 18, 2024).
