Standing Female Nude. 1929. Sculpture in satin-finished pressed glass on a two-part black marble plinth. Total height 26 cm (figure 15.5 x 4 cm, plinth 10.5 x 7.5 cm). The figure has tiny, pinpoint-like marks of soiling; it has been broken free from its original anchoring in the marble plinth, resulting in partial chipping of the glass at the foot, which is not noticeable when the piece is standing upright. The plinth has a single small chip in the stone at the lower edge. Overall, in good condition.
Originally produced for the Royal Leerdam Glassworks, Netherlands. – A stylised female nude in an elegant twisted pose, with an ethereal presence, by Lucienne Bloch, who, in addition to her glass sculptures, also made a name for herself as the photographer of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Created in the late 1920s during a stay at the Royal Leerdam Glassworks, these sculptures form a unique chapter in her multifaceted oeuvre and simultaneously mark a high point in European Art Deco glass art.
