About the Item

Terracotta Sculpture "The Kiss" by Gottfred Eickhoff, 1948 This terracotta sculpture, titled "The Kiss", was created in 1948 by the renowned Danish sculptor Gottfred Eickhoff. While unsigned, the piece is illustrated in the book Gottfred Eickhoff: Dialog med billedhuggeren og tegneren by Anne Hald (p. 99), underscoring its significance and importance within the artist's body of work. Provenance: The sculpture originates from the collection of Professor Johannes Berg and was previously sold at the Museum Bygningen auction during the 1990s. About Gottfred Eickhoff (1902-1982): Gottfred Eickhoff was a celebrated Danish sculptor and a key figure in Danish modernism. Known for his ability to convey human relationships and emotions through stylized and minimalistic forms, Eickhoff primarily worked in terracotta, stone, and bronze. His works are distinguished by their balance of organic shapes and abstract elements, reflecting his mastery of the human figure. Widely acclaimed for his focus on emotional expression, Eickhoff remains a significant representative of 20th-century Danish sculpture.
