During the 1958/1959 academic year he received a holiday scholarship from the Max Beckmann Society and spent some time in the Liliamor house with its founder Lilly von Mallinckrodt-Schnitzler in Murnau. In 1959 he also received a scholarship from the German National Academic Foundation. Crumbiegel completed his studies in 1961 with the first state examination.
After the 2nd state examination in 1964, Crumbiegel worked with Robert Sturm at the educational institute in Fulda as a lecturer for the training of art and craft teachers at general schools with a training focus on the construction of vascular ceramics. In 1971 he took over the class for sculpture and architectural ceramics at the State Technical School for Ceramic Design in Höhr- Grenzhausen. From 1979 to 2001 he was a professor at the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences in Krefeld in the design department, studying ceramics/porcelain/glass design. In 1979, Crumbiegel was appointed a member of the Académie Internationale de la Ceramique (AIC) / International Academy of liamorCeramic in Geneva.

Blue Lady Ema with Handbag Eva Fritz-Lindner, 1970
Located in South Burlington, VT
Blue lady with her handbag- mastertwork from Eva Fritz-Lindner.
A serene tall handmade and hand painted sculpture of a lady carrying her handbag named EMA - a friend of the artist- e handcrafted and hand painted in beautiful blue colors. On bottom atelier mark i 3 D and with tree (black brush mark). Ema was the late Eva Fritz-Lindner's (1933-2017) good friend.
Designer/maker: Eva Fritz-Lindner with stamp i3D, circa 1960-1970.
Glaze: Light and dark blue matte colors are bright and vivid and the hand painting only adds to the charm; light original glaze crazing appropriate for age.
Additional comments: Most of her larger sculptures were likely produced in less than 100 copies based upon research and all were hand painted individually by this artist ensuring each work of art was indeed unique.
Dimensions: 12.5 inches high.
Handmade / handarbeit and hand glazed, few survive.
Provenance: Old German collection.
About the artist:
The bold folk art sculptress and ceramist Eva Fritz-Lindner (1933-2017) studied at the Werkkunstschule Wiesbaden and Darmstadt and was a master student in the sculptor class by Erich Kuhn.
From 1955 she worked as a master designer at the Staatliche Majolika-Manufaktur Karlsruhe where she created and designed several hundred highly regarded ceramic folk art animal sculptures and unique wall and garden works of art inspired by nature and possibly the local zoo at Karlsruhe. Owls and family concepts were a particular specialty. During this time she created designs for building and garden ceramics, vessels and small sculptures. Since 1964, the sculptress worked as a freelance artist in her own studio in Karlsruhe-Durlach. The artist designed important works in the field of building ceramics, including wall designs in mosaic, in Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Baden-Baden, Schwäbisch Gmünd and Göppingen. Of particular note, she created enormous scale owl sculptures for the palace gardens in Karlsruhe in 1967 (see photo).
In 1962, Eva Fritz-Lindner was awarded the silver medal at the Prague International Ceramic Exhibition.
The artists' ceramics are owned and located in the Hetjens-Museum Düsseldorf, in the Museum of Contemporary Ceramic Art...
