Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, Neue Pinakothek, Katalog der Skulpturen 2

Zusatztext

Adolf von Hildebrand is regarded as one of the most important sculptors in Germany around 1900. He created his works between the era of the Prince Regent in Munich and the enthusiasm for Italy of German Romans. He liberated the sculpture of the nineteenth century from superfluous decoration and thus became a pioneer of modernity. Works by the artist were already acquired for the collection of the Neue Pinakothek at an early point in time and were able to grow to become unique holdings of over 200 works as a result of the acquisition of his workshop estate. Besides completed works, the estate also includes models for ideal sculptures, reliefs, portraits, fountains, monuments, and tombs. In the catalog on the holdings, the works by Fabian Pius Huber are documented in detail for the first time and put in relation to the artists oeuvre as a whole and his era.
