About this Item

Ferenc Varga (Hungarian, 1906-1989), Sorrow

white marble, signed Varga F., minor chips, 36,5cm high, 27cm wide; with mottled brown marble plinth, chips, 7,8cm high, 29cm wide, 24cm deep

Notes

Ferenc Varga was born in Székesfehérvár, Hungary on 29 of May 1906. Demonstrating an aptitude for craft at an early age earned him a place in the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest where he studied under professors Jeno Bory and Ferenc Sidló. After graduating he would teach as Bory’s assistant from 1928 to 1940. The present lot was presumably executed during this period as a maquette for a life size marble dated 1932. 1

 

1. Ferenc Varga; Selected Works. Varga Studios, Delray Beach, Florida.
