About the Item

Gustav Gurschner bronze bowl Werkstatte succession Vienna Origin Austria Circa 1910 Stamped Gurschner on its base and numbered Style Art deco succession Vienna Excellent condition with natural wear from use Gustav Gurschner (28 September 1873 –2 August 1970) was an Austrian sculptor whose works ranged from monuments to decorative everyday objects like lamps and ashtrays in the Art Nouveau style. He was the husband of the writer Alice Pollak. Gurschner was born in Mühldorf, in Bavaria, the son of a surveyor. He was trained at the technical school for wood sculpture in Bolzano, then studied under August Kühne and Otto König [de] at the Kunstgewerbeschule (School of Arts and Crafts) in Vienna. During this time, he supported himself by teaching drawing. He also sold his first commission, a bust of the actor Wilhelm Knaak [de]. The bust was included in an exhibition at the Vienna Künstlerhaus in 1896; On opening day, artists stood next to their works while Kaiser Franz Joseph passed in review. Amid the other artists, the twenty-two-year-old, clean-shaven Gurschner looked so young that the Kaiser asked him why he was there instead of his father, then expressed astonishment when he was told that Gurschner was in fact the maker of the bust. The notice of the Kaiser was a signal event in Gurshner's rise as an artist
