About the Item

Chana Orloff (1888–1968) Seated Woman, 1958 Bronze, Height: 55 cm Signed, dated, and numbered 3/8 Stamped with foundry mark Susse Fondeur, Paris A masterful example of Chana Orloff’s expressive sculptural style, Seated Woman (1958) embodies the artist’s ability to merge modernist form with emotional depth. Cast in bronze, this striking work captures the essence of introspection and resilience, with its textured surface and elongated, softened features reflecting Orloff’s unique synthesis of Art Deco influences and figurative abstraction. Orloff, a key figure in early 20th-century modernism, was deeply involved in the Parisian avant-garde, maintaining close connections with artists such as Modigliani, Soutine, and Lipchitz. Her sculptures, often depicting women with a quiet strength, are celebrated for their balance between stylization and organic form. The present work is documented in Félix Marcilhac’s Chana Orloff (Paris, 1991, p. 288, no. 382, illustrated), and its authenticity has been confirmed by the artist’s granddaughter, Mrs. Ariane Tamir. This edition, numbered 3/8, was cast at the renowned Susse Fondeur foundry in Paris, underscoring its exceptional provenance and quality. A rare and evocative work, Seated Woman is a testament to Orloff’s legacy in modern sculpture, making it a compelling acquisition for collectors and institutions alike.
