German Post War Sculptures Lederer, Helmut Danae III. 1961. hollow bronze with golden-reddish patina, polished. 27 x 26 x 30 cm. - Rubbed in places and with stains. Occasional slightly irregular patina, overall very good. Magnificent cast with homogeneous patina. Illustrated in: Helmut Lederer. Sculptures, pictures. A selection. Ed. Stäftische Galerie im Palais Stutterheim, Erlangen 1994, ill. o. Os. - The majority of the sculptural work of the German sculptor Helmut Lederer consists of works in plaster and bronze. The formal language is abstract. Since 1959, Lederer's sculptural work has included female nudes, which the artist emphasized in a physical way with curves and spherical elements - the femininity stands in an exciting interrelationship with round, abstracted forms and, together with the smooth, heavy materiality of the bronze and the warm color effect, forms a balanced presence that appears unagitated and coherent in itself. Many of Lederer's sculptures can now be found in public spaces in the city of Erlangen, where the artist lived since the end of the war in 1946 and where he died in 1999.
