Antique Austrian Bronze Bison, Attributed to Kauba, ca. 1910

About the Item

This exceptionally large and detailed bronze of a Bison is the work of one of the best artists of his time Carl Kauba (1865-1922). While unsigned it bears the mark "Gesch" which is the first half of the word "Geschuztzt", basically means patented in German. Note the eyes and face of this fabulous animal. We are always on the hunt for antique bison, not an easy subject matter to find, especially nice examples. A rare and super find.

  • Bronze Sculpture Austrian Carl Kauba Rodeo Cowboy Marble, circa 1900
    By Carl Kauba
    Located in Hamilton, Ontario
    Early 20th century bronze on Marble slab sculpture of a bronco rodeo cowboy on horse by Austrian artist Carl Kauba. Weighing a heavy 18 pounds with a solid marble base, Kauba has amazing intricate detail from the reins to the cowboys face and horses hoofs. Carl Kauba (1865-1922) Carl Kauba 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 Native American Indians, Cavalrymen, 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. 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...
