Kurt Lossgott (SA, 1941-2025) ‘Running Horse (In Full Flight)’ – 1981 Amalgam Bronze – Signed & Inscribed RSA & BRD (STC)
Description
A Signature Piece of South African Modernism This 1981 masterwork by Kurt Lossgott is a premier example of his most coveted subject matter: the equine form in motion. Running Horse (In Full Flight) is celebrated for its radical horizontal energy and the "kinetic" texture Lossgott achieves through his specialized amalgam bronze technique.
The Artist’s Mark: This work is hand-signed and dated 1981 by the artist, featuring the rare and desirable inscription "RSA & BRD." This mark pays homage to Lossgott’s heritage and technical foundation in both South Africa and West Germany, adding a layer of provenance that is highly valued on the secondary market.
Technical Specifications:
Medium: Patinated amalgam bronze (cold cast).
Base: Original substantial wooden plinth (likely Rhodesian Teak or similar hardwood).
Approximate Dimensions (Horse): Height 45cm; Length 64cm.
Approximate Dimensions (Base): Height 11cm; Length 60.5cm; Width 22cm.
Total Presence: With a total length exceeding 60cm, this is one of the larger iterations of this series, offering significant visual impact and "shelf-presence."
Condition Report: The bronze maintains a rich, deep-toned patina with excellent definition in the "blurred" speed-lines of the mane and tail. The wooden base is in excellent structural condition, having been well-preserved.
