About the Item
Chana Orloff (1888–1968)
Seated Woman, 1958
Bronze, Height: 55 cm
Signed, dated, and numbered 3/8
Stamped with foundry mark Susse Fondeur, Paris
A masterful example of Chana Orloff’s expressive sculptural style, Seated Woman (1958) embodies the artist’s ability to merge modernist form with emotional depth. Cast in bronze, this striking work captures the essence of introspection and resilience, with its textured surface and elongated, softened features reflecting Orloff’s unique synthesis of Art Deco influences and figurative abstraction.
Orloff, a key figure in early 20th-century modernism, was deeply involved in the Parisian avant-garde, maintaining close connections with artists such as Modigliani, Soutine, and Lipchitz. Her sculptures, often depicting women with a quiet strength, are celebrated for their balance between stylization and organic form.
The present work is documented in Félix Marcilhac’s Chana Orloff (Paris, 1991, p. 288, no. 382, illustrated), and its authenticity has been confirmed by the artist’s granddaughter, Mrs. Ariane Tamir. This edition, numbered 3/8, was cast at the renowned Susse Fondeur foundry in Paris, underscoring its exceptional provenance and quality.
A rare and evocative work, Seated Woman is a testament to Orloff’s legacy in modern sculpture, making it a compelling acquisition for collectors and institutions alike.

Walter Midener "Contemplation" Seated Figure Clay Sculpture Mid-Century Modern
Located in Detroit, MI
“Contemplation” is an abstract clay sculpture of a female. The figure has both arms and legs extended, but the dignified pose suggests an intimate rather than a sexual moment. The sculpture is delicately rendered, but monumental in pose and clean composition reminiscent of the English artist Henry Moore. The surface is warm and slightly rough to the touch. This sculpture is in the round and beautifully balanced geometrically with the hands clasped behind the head forming a slightly flattened polygon shape that is echoed in the positioning of the legs and draped fabric of a presumed dress. The figure draws the viewer into her contemplation, peace and confidence. An exceptional piece by Midener.
