Glicenstein, Enrico (Henryk) (Polish/Jewish/American, 1870-1942), Eve [or Rachel], 1959, cast bronze sculpture, made at the Roman Bronze Works with their stamp to the lower edge, unsigned, 37 x 16 x 13 inches. Catalogue Raisonne number 109 (an enlarged version of the upper half of number 108). According to the Glicenstein archives, this bronze cast of the upper torso of Eve was made for a posthumous exhibition at Chapellier Galleries in New York. A powerful image showing either Eve as she becomes aware of her own nakedness, or the matriarch Rachel in a time of distress. A copy of the catalogue raisonne is included with purchase. Provenance: The Estate of Hugo Dreyfuss (the son-in-law of the artist, who was married to Beatrice Glicenstein). Born in Switzerland in 1910, Dreyfuss started a textile business with his brother before moving to America in 1940. In the 1950s, he partnered with furniture designer Vladimir Kagan and designed and hand printed many fabrics for furniture and interior decorating. Hugo, Beatrice and her brother Emanuel Romano Glicenstein (who was also an artist) were the keepers and cataloguers of Glicenstein's body of work. Hugo worked on the biography/catalogue raisonne project that would become the book 'Life and Work of Enrico Glicenstein,' by Charlotte Sholod. The book was finally published in 2014, seven years after Hugo's death. Enrico Glicenstein's sculpture is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Hirshhorn Museum, Musee d'Art Moderne, Israel Museum, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Brooklyn Museum, Jewish Museum and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, among others. Glicenstein won the Prix de Rome in 1895 and 1896, and was the only sculptor to have exhibited jointly with Auguste Rodin, who was a close friend of Glicenstein's and one of his earliest admirers. In addition to sculpture, Glicenstein was also a respected painter and etcher. In good condition, with a deep brownish green patina.
