Karl Hagenauer Very Early Rare Bronze Sculpture Josephine Baker

Posted by admin On January 23, 2026

This is an amazing bronze bust by Karl Hagenauer, it’s very early as it’s signed Germany not Austria. Also fully signed Hagenauer and where looks like a registration number. I believe this could be the head and shoulders of Josephine Baker? Who they were known to do, most now are only seen in museums. Goldsmith Carl Hagenauer founded what became the Werkstätte Hagenauer Wien in 1898. His oldest son, Karl, who would eventually assume leadership of the family business, enrolled at the Vienna School of Applied Arts at age eleven. There he studied with Josef Hoffmann and Oskar Strnad and created designs for the Wiener Werkstätte art collective. After wartime service in the infantry, he resumed his training and qualified as an architect. He joined the family business in 1919.. Hagenauer was responsive to the change in public taste influenced by the popularity of the Vienna Secession. His stylized animals and whimsical creatures handcrafted in brass had broad appeal in domestic and American markets. Some were useful, such as mirrors, cigar cutters, ashtrays, candlesticks, bookends, hood ornaments and lamp bases. Other larger sculptures in wood and metal such as the iconic Josephine Baker in the collection of the Casa Lis Art Nouveau and Art Deco Museum in Salamanca.
