Konrad Kurz (1934–2023) - Figurengruppe

For sale: a signed bronze sculpture by artist Konrad Kurz (1934–2023)

featuring two highly stylized figures on a common plinth. The composition is sculptural and abstracted, with a dark brown patina appropriate to age, including some greenish patinated areas.

Inside the hollow plinth lies the incised signature “K. Kurz München.” Additionally, there is a monogram on the outside of the plinth. The sculpture weighs approximately 1,540.5 g.

The piece is in good, age-appropriate condition with natural patina and typical light surface traces. It has not been refurbished or polished by me.

The numerous photos show the sculpture, the signature, the monogram, and the condition in detail and form part of the description.

Exceptional bronze sculpture – Konrad Kurz, Munich

Expressive signed sculpture – modern figurative representation – impressive patina

For sale is a striking bronze sculpture by the Munich sculptor Konrad Kurz (1934–2023).

The sculpture impresses with its powerful, reduced formal language and Kurz’s characteristic combination of figurative representation and abstraction. The two, sculpturally emphasized figures stand in a tense relationship to the massive, architecturally–inspired base. It is precisely this clear, modern design that gives the work a remarkable presence.

The bronze has a very beautiful, lively surface with patina appropriate to its age. Due to its compact form, it presents excellently as a solitary piece on a sideboard, desk, pedestal, or in a private art collection.

Konrad Kurz (1934–2023) – German sculptor of post-war modernism

Konrad Kurz is among the prominent German sculptors of the latter half of the 20th century. The Passau-born artist developed a distinctive, unmistakable formal language between figurative representation, abstraction, and archaic-looking modernity.

After his training and studies in sculpture in Munich, Kurz dedicated his life to art. Since the 1970s, his works have been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions. In addition to exhibitions in Germany, his work has also been represented internationally. Works by him can also be found in public spaces.

Particularly characteristic are his bronze sculptures, in which Kurz depicts human figures, relationships, and emotional states in a reduced yet highly expressive manner. His sculptures often exert a powerful, almost archaic effect and are unmistakable due to their craft-oriented surface and individual patination.

The works of Konrad Kurz are today verifiable in the art and auction trade and are valued by collectors especially for their autonomous formal language and the distinctive bronze execution.

This piece bears the characteristic signature “K. Kurz – München” and stylistically convincingly fits into the sculptural oeuvre of the artist. An expressive work of German post-war modernism with notable sculptural presence.
