Among the sale's sculpture highlights is an exceptional bronze by Georg Kolbe (1877-1947), one of the most successful German sculptors of the early 20th century. Bewegungsskizze (Motion Sketch), was conceived in 1925 and cast by 1939 (estimate: $20,000-30,000). Never before offered at auction, the cast has remained in the same private American collection since its acquisition in the 1930’s.

Cast circa 1960-61, the foot-tall bronze with golden brown patina was acquired by Joseph H. Hirshhorn in 1961, and gifted to the museum in 1966.
