(German, 1883-1969) 

Maxi Herber, Olympic Gold Medalist, circa 1930, signed on base "F. Kupsch", patinated bronze with marble base, 18-1/2 in.

Note:

Maxi Herber (1920-2006), with her husband and partner, Ernst Baier, won the 1936 Olympic gold medal for pair skating at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria, Germany. Herber's move here is a form of a spiral in which a skater lifts his or her leg in a back spiral. Herber became, and still remains, the youngest to win an Olympic gold pairs skating medal (at the age 15 and 4 months). The folds of her skirt in this rare bronze, typifies the Art Moderne style of the 1930s.

Condition

small casting flaw in skirt, medium brown patination with minor rubbing
