About the Item

Elegant hand work on paper probably pastel or watercolour by the Artist Depicting Two nude female , nicely done , professionally framed in new bamboo wood frame . Ready to enjoy for many years to come By well accomplished listed artist , signed by the artist Actual size of work is : 11”.5 x 9” (Nikolaus) Koni (Hungarian-American 1911-2000) Born in Transylvania, Sir Nicolaus Koni, long time Palm Beach resident was a true statesman of art, and passed on a few years ago, but his art lives through his many creations on display in private and public collections throughout the world. The Koni Cultural & Arts Foundation has been established to perpetuate the memory and the works of Nicolaus Koni. World renowned as a master sculptor in bronze, marble, wood, jade, coral, gold, silver, copper, terra cotta, granite and crystal alabaster, Nicolaus Koni is famed as well for his watercolors and oils. In 1977 he introduced his challenging new modern art form: Konilite, a technique which uses crystal man-made transparent materials imported from the Orient to create multi-dimensional color synchrony in conjunction with light reflecting effects. Koni at the young age of 12, was recognized as a master artist, but international recognition came at age 24 with the sculpture of Polish patriot Pilsudski. Other noted works include busts and wood carvings of singer Marian Anderson, Prime Minister Ben-Gurion, General Omar Bradley, President Franklin D Roosevelt and Princess Nathalie Paley to name a few. His works appear in collections housed in Lincoln Center, New York University, The Kennedy Center, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Galeri Moderne - Paris, New Vienna Conservatory and Lafayette Gallery in Bucharest to name a few. Famed works include, "The Night," "The Morning," "The Bull," "Messenger of Peace," "Birth of Eve" and "La Femme Solitaire". To quote The New York Times on his show at Milch Galleries, "Koni demonstrates amazing technical mastery." Koni works combine the technical with the sensitive. The Koni Cultural & Arts Foundation has been created as a permanent memorial to Sir Nicolaus Koni and his works. The foundation plans to promote the arts through Koni art, and create programs to include scholarships which foster artistic understanding and educational programs for young people and collectors. Other goals are to create a traveling exhibit as well as a permanent gallery. The Koni Cultural & Arts Foundation was created by Koni, prior to his passing, and is spearheaded by Foundation President Howard Siegel. The foundation is interested in speaking with Koni collectors and those who knew him as part of their living history research phase. According to its Executive Director, Steve Kaplansky, "We are entering a very exciting phase and have interviewed many who will become a permanent part of Koni history. We want to include many more art collectors, and museums." Mr. Koni, a native of Hungary, immigrated in the late 1920's to Austria, where he lived in Vienna for a decade before moving to Britain. He left for the United States in 1941, where he joined the Army and served in World War II. After the war, he set up a studio on East 63rd Street in Manhattan and in Palm Beach. He made busts of Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Jonas Salk. His bust of Anderson is in the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center, his bust of Forrestal, the nation's first secretary of defense, is in the Annapolis Naval Museum and in the Forrestal Building in Washington. His portrait of Ben-Gurion is at Ben-Gurion University in Israel.Studied: Acad. FA, Vienna, Austria; Masters Sch., Paris & Florence
