    By Loetz Glass
    Located in Klosterneuburg, AT
    Vase, Johann Loetz Witwe, unidentified decoration, ca. 1901, signed "Loetz Austria" This elegantly curved vase with its luminous gold shimmering decoration gives it a fascinating appearance. The applied dots evoke images of water lilies, whose color spectrum ranges from silver-yellow to violet and blue depending on the incidence of light. The vertically drawn silver-blue threads emphasize the presence and size of the 31cm high body of the vase. The iridescent decoration is accentuated particularly by the organically curved basic form with its triple folded and expressively curved mouth. It allows us to experience the beauty of the vase's silver-yellow interior even from a distance. This exquisite work of art glass is destined for a true Art Nouveau heart...

  • Carl Kauba, Frightened by the Frog, Viennese Bronze Sculpture, circa 1915
    By Carl Kauba
    Located in New York, NY
    Dimensions Total Height: 7.5 inches Base Height: 2 inches Width: 2.75 inches Depth: 2.75 inches ABOUT This charming desk figurine in dark brown patinated Viennese bronze by the famous Austrian sculptor Karl Kaub stands out for the originality and humor of its subject matter. The author depicted with amazing subtlety a boy who jumped on one leg in fright, suddenly seeing a frog sitting on his arm. CARL KAUBA (Austrian, 1865-1922) was born August 13, 1865 in Vienna, Austria. The son of a shoemaker, Kauba chose to follow his calling into the world of art. Collectors now rank him in a class with Remington and Russell as one of the great portrayers of American Western. His subjects were typically American Indians, calvarymen, cowboys, and roughriders. In addition to his American bronzes, Kauba produced a lifetime’s worth of Austrian statuary. His work became fully appreciated on both sides of the Atlantic. Carl studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under professor Laufenberg. Later he would study at the academies under Carl Waschmann and Stefan Schwartz. Next, he went to Paris in 1886 to further study before he set off for the U.S. In fact, some debate still remains as to whether Kauba ever visited the U.S. Kauba’s fascination with the West was fired by the stories of the German writer, Carl May, whose tales of Western adventure were well known throughout Europe. Most authorities feel that he was about twenty-five years old when he traveled widely throughout the American West. He then returned to Austria with voluminous notes, sketches, and several models of Western sculpture...
