Ray's Premier Auction

Description & Details

Karl Stirner (1923 - 2016) was an internationally recognized sculptor. Born in Germany during the Weimar Republic, his family immigrated to America in 1927, settling in Pennsylvania. Karl developed an interest in metal that stemmed from his father's work as a fine jeweler. By 1948, Karl had opened a metal arts studio, and by 1955 he was teaching art at Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia. Over the decades to follow, Karl developed an international reputation for his abstract metal sculpture, and was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, NY, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Corcoran Gallery, among many others. Like notable artists that preceded him (Picasso, Derain, Matisse), Karl's fascination with fine art and tribal art, and particularly traditional African art, was substantive. He amassed a remarkable personal collection, which occupied every corner of his living space, from which around 300 lots and books have been selected to present at this auction. Take advantage of this opportunity to acquire some excellent examples of African tribal art, Native American tribal objects, Oceanic pieces, Pre-Columbian art and tribal books and catalogs, each of which was carefully selected by the eye of one of America's finest post-war metal sculptors.
