Glicenstein, Enrico (Henryk) (Polish/Jewish/American, 1870-1942), Beethoven, c. 1927, wood sculpture, unsigned, 18 x 11.5 x 7 inches. Catalogue Raisonne number 118. A copy of the catalogue raisonne is included with purchase. Also include are 2 states of an etching that Glicenstein did of Beethoven in the late 1930s. Provenance: The Estate of Hugo Dreyfuss, the son-in-law of the artist (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 Glicenstein (who was also an artist) were the keepers and cataloguers of Glicenstein's body of work. Hugo worked on and pursued 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. Glicenstein's work 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. Auguste Rodin was a close friend of Glicenstein's and one of his earliest admirers.
