"Woman and Child, " Logan Medal-Winning, Large Mahogany Sculpture by Zettler
About the Item
Large and highly affecting, this 52-inch high mahogany sculpture of a woman holding her child, looking out pensively into the world, won the Frank Logan Medal of the Arts at the 22nd Chicago Artist Exhibition in 1918. It is the greatest masterpiece of Emil Zettler, who is best known today for his architectural sculptures in collaboration with George Grant Elmslie, Perkins, Hamilton & Fellows, Holabird & Roche and other leading Chicago architects. An array of his sculptures survive, for example, on the facade of the Old Second National Bank, Aurora, Illinois, as well as two great hotels: the Palmer House and the Stevens Hotel (now the Conrad Hilton). Carved from mahogany, this sculpture has a deep ruddy glow, and retains its 1918 Exhibition label on the reverse.
