About the Item
A dynamic sculpture by German artist Ludmilla Fischer-Pongratz (1899–1981), titled Raufende Buben (“Brawling Boys”). Executed in 1964, the work depicts two boys caught in a vigorous tussle, their intertwined bodies rendered in a raw, expressive manner. The textured surface emphasizes movement and physicality, while the compact form captures both the struggle and playfulness of childhood scuffles. The artist’s signature is inscribed on the underside of the children’s feet, as shown in the photos.
Fischer-Pongratz, active throughout the mid-20th century, is known for her figurative works that combine direct modeling with an emphasis on emotional immediacy.

Dancing Sculpture in Resin in the Style of Umberto Boccioni
Located in Pasadena, CA
Sculpture is at its most essential as a physical, tactile medium, and needs to be touched to be fully experienced. Creating a handmade resin sculpture is an intricate process that requires the mastery of various skills and techniques.
This dancing sculpture, in gun metal patina finish resin, stands on its wooden base, featuring intricate details, height, singular twists, interstices, and curves, culminating in an energetic union that transforms the static and individual into a dynamic couple.
As you let your hands wander, with closed eyes, you can sense fluidity in their movements, brought to life by soft, rounded lines. Every gesture and sweep emits a unique emotion, as if the two dancers were sharing a whispered conversation, inviting the viewer to witness their intimate exchange.
