About the Item

This has always been one of our favorite naughty bronzes. This lovely girl, wearing her finest fur coat, is willing to open it up to reveal her nude body. This bronze is in remarkable condition. We have owned other examples in our 27 years of business. Some had the Bergmann Foundry mark and others didn't. This one is unsigned, but is 100% guaranteed to be a true Bergmann. Really a beautiful example of Bergmann's knack for creativity. Metamorphic Erotic Austrian Cold Painted Nude Bronze Sculpture. Cold painted bronze statue. Bronze figure of a young woman wearing a fur coat and a muff. The front of the coat is hinged and opens to reveal her nude body wearing stockings and boots. Figure is mounted on a round marble base. Franz Xaver Bergmann, (1861–1936) was the owner of a Viennese foundry who produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronze Oriental, erotic and animal figures, the latter often humanized or whimsical, humorous objects d'art. From Askart: Franz Xaver Bergman (or Franz Xaver Bergmann) (1861-1936) was the owner of a Viennese foundry who produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronze Oriental, erotic, and animal figures, the latter often humanized or whimsical, humorous objects d'art. Noted for his detailed and colorful work, and signed either with a 'B' in an urn-shaped cartouche or 'Nam Greb' or 'Namgreb' - 'Bergman' in reverse, he used these marks to disguise his identity on erotic works. His father Franz Bergmann was a professional chaser from Gablonz/Bohemia who came to Vienna and founded a small bronze factory in 1860. His son inherited the company and opened a new foundry in 1900. Many of the bronzes from the 1900s were still based on designs from his father’s workshop. He was not a sculptor himself as often described wrongfully. There were many anonymous sculptors, hired temporarily by the workshops. At the turn of the 19th/20th Century, there were about fifty workshops producing Vienna Bronzes. ‘Cold painted bronze' refers to pieces cast in Vienna and then decorated in several layers with so-called dust paint; the know-how for the mix of this kind of paint has been lost. The color was not fired hence "cold painted". The painting was carried out mainly by women working at home, a typical cottage industry. Sensuous poses of young women in the Art Nouveau style were disguised by a covering that revealed all when a button was pushed or a lever moved. Often carefully sculpted animals, such as bears, could be opened to reveal an erotic figure inside.
