Louise Stomps
1900 - 1988
Stele. 1968.
Willow Wood sculpture on a wooden base.
200 x 18.5 x 16 cm (78.7 x 7.2 x 6.2 in). [AW].

• Elegant and organic sculpture with a particularly appealing materiality.
• Louise Stomps transformed the classical body image into a highly abstract figuration.
• After moving from Berlin to Bavaria in 1960, she increasingly turned to wood as a material – the growth and grain of this natural product became an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Stomps.
• From March to June 2026, the Käthe Kollwitz Museum in Cologne hosts the exhibition “Louise Stomps - Skultpuren und Zeichnungen - 1928-1988”.

PROVENANCE: From the artist's estate.

LITERATURE: Nachlass Louise Stomps (ed.), Online catalog of sculptures, Berlin, CR no. LSP3wjs 1182 (with color illustration).

In good condition. With minor isolated scuffs.
