Description

‘Wisentstier’ (‘Bison’)
Biography: Albert Kraemer

Bronze, with black patina. Signed ‘A Kraemer 1920’.
First original cast signed 1920. Later, in the second half of the 1930s and in the early 1940s, Kramer created around 10 more casts similar to the Bison model from 1920. These later casts are not signed with a date.
While restoring the marble base, the restorer found traces of Casting Sand (‘Brussels Earth’) under the bronze base plate, indicating that this 1920 cast served as model for the later casts.

Kraemer displayed a similar copy of the 1920-bison at the Great German Art Exhibition in 1938 in room 6. One cast was purchased for 1,000 Reichsmark by Luftgaukommando VII (München) and another cast by Luftwaffenkommando See (Kiel).
The bison by Kraemer was also displayed at the ‘Frühjahrs-Ausstellung, Preussische Akademie der Künste’, 1939.

Albert Kraemer, ‘Wisentstier’, displayed at the GDK 1938 room 6.
