Konrad Kurz (1934–2023) – German sculptor of the postwar modern era

Konrad Kurz is one of the notable German sculptors of the second half of the 20th century. Born in Passau, the artist developed an individual, unmistakable visual language that moves between figurative representation, abstraction, and an almost archaic modernity.

After his training and studies in sculpture in Munich, Kurz devoted his life wholly to art. From the 1970s onward, his works were presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions. In addition to exhibitions in Germany, his work was also shown internationally. His works can also be found in public spaces.

His bronze sculptures are particularly characteristic. In them, Kurz portrayed human figures, relationships, and emotional states in a pared-down yet highly expressive manner. His sculptures often have a powerful, almost archaic quality and are unmistakable for their distinctive handcrafted surfaces and individual patination.

Konrad Kurz’s works can today be found on the art and auction market and are valued by collectors, particularly for their distinctive visual language and characteristic bronze execution.

The work offered here bears the characteristic signature “K. Kurz – München” and fits stylistically into the artist’s sculptural oeuvre. An expressive work of German postwar modernism with a distinctive sculptural presence.
