Photographer's stamp and annotated in pencil on the verso. In April 1926 the Berlin municipal authorities organized a contest for the design of a Beethoven monument at Bülowplatz to be placed in front of the Volksbühne theater. The following artists were invited to participate: Rudolf Belling, Marcel Breuer, Georg Kolbe, Hugo Lederer, Karl Ludwig Manzel, Otto Placzek and Edwin Scharff. With this artistic monument, the city of Berlin wanted to commemorate the 100th anniversary (1927) of this important German composer’s death. Fritz Stahl of the Berliner Tageblatt praised Belling’s design as "high quality", however, apparently none of the designs were carried out. – In very good condition.

§ Rudolf Belling, (German, 1886-1972), Cubist Composition, bronze,
Est: £2,000 - £4,000
§ Rudolf Belling, (German, 1886-1972), Cubist Composition, bronze, signed in the bronze and dated 1950, Noack, Berlin foundry stamp h:50 cm Other Notes: One of the most eminent German sculptors of classical modernism and a pioneer of sculptural abstraction, Rudolf Belling originally started out as a stage and costume designer. He produced sculptures and props for the theatre and films, notably receiving commissions from Max Reinhardt (1873-1943). A prolific and eclectic artist, Belling did not limit his work to sculpture alone, working also as scenographer, designer and architectural sculptor. Belling was much influenced by Expressionism, particularly by the painter and architect Hans Poelzig (1869-1936), however, he had the talent to move between styles. His artistic development was shaped by a variety of styles including futurism, constructivism, abstraction and naturalism. In 1919, he produced the first non-figurative abstract sculpture in the German-speaking world - 'Dreiklang' (Triad) - an iconic and pioneering example of abstract sculpture in Germany. Against the predominant theories of his time, put forward by the German sculptor Adolf von Hildebrand (1847-1921), Belling conceived his sculptures in space, adopting the so-called 'Belling System'. The present sculpture, which can be viewed from different perspectives, is an example of this then revolutionary approach to sculpture, as it encourages the observer to circle around it. One of the founding members of the artists' association, 'Novembergruppe', in Berlin, his political views did not conform with the Nazi ideology. Shortly after being elected a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts in 1931, he was forced to resign and he was banned from working in Germany, with his works being labelled as 'degenerate'. Unable to stay in his home country, Belling emigrated to Istanbul, where he lived for thirty years before being allowed to return to Germany at the age of 80. In the year before he died, Belling created the bronze sculpture, 'Blütenmotiv als Friedenssymbol' (Flower Motif as a Peace Symbol), which became the international landmark of the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich.

Rudolf Belling, Entwurf für eine Plastik, Lithograph, 1968
Est: €100 - €130
Lithograph on wove paper ‘BFK Rives’ (watermark) Germany, 1968 Rudolf Belling (1886-1972) – German sculptor Signed, dated and inscribed (numbering in the images deviates from the actual numbering of the lot) Artist’s proof aside from the edition of 100 Published by Edition Ketterer, Munich (with their blindstamp) Ketterer edition directory 20 Image dimensions: 54.3 x 41.6 cm; sheet dimensions: 64.5 x 49.8 cm Good condition Condition: The lithograph bears a short tear (1cm) in the left sheet edge and occasional soft creases. There is a pencil inscription by another hand in the lower right corner. Otherwise the condition is good. The image measures 54.3 x 41.6 cm, the sheet 64.5 x 49.8 cm. Rudolf Belling (1886-1972) The Berlin-born sculptor Rudolf Belling, who formed part of the international avant garde of sculptors between the world wars, was initially known as a protagonist of expressionism. After his education as modeler and designer Bellinger created the stage design for Max Reinhardt. Later he worked as a sculptor in Berlin. At the end of the 1930s the artist went to Turkey, where he was a teacher at the academy for sculpture in Istanbul. Around 1966 he returned to Germany. The National Socialists defamed his work as "degenerate" in 1937 and confiscated his artwork which was on display in public museums. Stylistically there was a break affecting his oeuvre: While his works of the 1910er and 1920er were characterized as expressionist, it changed when Belling faced up to futurism and Russian constructivism. Works of the former pioneer of sculpting are in the collections of national and international museums such as Berliner Nationalgalerie, Berlinische Galerie, Museum Folkwang in Essen as well as in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Est: €100 - €130
Lithograph on wove paper ‘BFK Rives’ (watermark) Germany, 1968 Rudolf Belling (1886-1972) – German sculptor Signed, dated and inscribed (numbering in the images deviates from the actual numbering of the lot) Artist’s proof aside from the edition of 100 Published by Edition Ketterer, Munich (with their blindstamp) Ketterer edition directory 20 Image dimensions: 54.3 x 41.6 cm; sheet dimensions: 64.5 x 49.8 cm Good condition Condition: The lithograph bears a short tear (1cm) in the left sheet edge and occasional soft creases. There is a pencil inscription by another hand in the lower right corner. Otherwise the condition is good. The image measures 54.3 x 41.6 cm, the sheet 64.5 x 49.8 cm. Rudolf Belling (1886-1972) The Berlin-born sculptor Rudolf Belling, who formed part of the international avant garde of sculptors between the world wars, was initially known as a protagonist of expressionism. After his education as modeler and designer Bellinger created the stage design for Max Reinhardt. Later he worked as a sculptor in Berlin. At the end of the 1930s the artist went to Turkey, where he was a teacher at the academy for sculpture in Istanbul. Around 1966 he returned to Germany. The National Socialists defamed his work as "degenerate" in 1937 and confiscated his artwork which was on display in public museums. Stylistically there was a break affecting his oeuvre: While his works of the 1910er and 1920er were characterized as expressionist, it changed when Belling faced up to futurism and Russian constructivism. Works of the former pioneer of sculpting are in the collections of national and international museums such as Berliner Nationalgalerie, Berlinische Galerie, Museum Folkwang in Essen as well as in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Belling, Rudolf: Fred Antoine Angermayer
Est: €1,500 - €1,800
"Fred Antoine Angermayer" Feder und Bleistift auf Velin. 1922. 13 x 10,5 cm. Unten rechts mit Feder in Schwarz signiert "Rudolf Belling", datiert und betitelt. Dargestellt ist der österreichische Schriftsteller und Dramaturg Fred Antoine Angermayer in einer kleinen beeindruckenden Zeichnung, in der Belling die Elemente von Expressionismus und Kubismus exzellent miteinander verbindet. 1922 erschien von Angermayer "Raumsturz" im Rar-Verlag Berlin, eine dramatische Vision in drei Akten. Für die Vorzugsausgabe schuf Rudolf Belling drei Graphiken, daher die Verbindung zu dem Schriftsteller. "Belling hat vielleicht am entscheidensten die Beschränkung der Bildhauerzeichnung erkannt, denn ihm ist die Skulptur nicht einzig Plastik, sondern auch Raum. Und diesem Empfinden gegenüber ist die Fläche des Blattes ohnmächtig." (A. E. Brinkmann, in: Genius - Zeitschrift für werdende und alte Kunst, 3. Jahr 1921, S. 10). Frühe Zeichnungen von Belling finden sich extrem selten im Kunsthandel. - Provenienz: Erich Hermann Müller von Asow Privatbesitz Dresden

RUDOLF BELLING (BERLÍN, 1886-1972) Busto de Wilhelm II (Guillermo II). Elaborado en bronce patinado en color negro. Sobre base de marmol negro veteado. Firmado. Detalles de conservación y estructura. Dimensiones: 25 x 13 x 8 cm Comenzó como modelador de pequeñas esculturas y continuó así de forma autodidacta hasta que decidió estudiar formalmente el arte al lado del maestro Peter Breuer en la academia de Berlín. Esta es la etapa en la que podemos considerar fue realizada la obra presentada ya que durante esta primera época realizó esculturas de temáticas nacionalistas artesanales. Para después dedicarse a temáticas diferentes y acordes con el momento histórico del mundo. En 1919 produjo la primera escultura abstracta no figurativa en el mundo de habla alemana. Se convirtió en un importante escultor, lamentablemente tuvo que huir de su país tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial y debido a que el Nuevo Gobierno Nazi había considerado sus esculturas como indecentes, muchas de ellas se fundieron y lamentablemente se perdieron. Se trasladó a Turquía como profesor de escultura en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Estambul. Logró regresar a su país en 1966 y en el último año antes de su muerte creó la medalla de bronce para los juegos Olímpicos de Munich.
