Female nude

This is a bronze sculpture by Barbara Haeger that shows the female figure with its natural contours and proportions. The artist worked with metal to make the human form tangible and present.

Barbara Haeger created this bronze sculpture in 1957 when German artists were searching for new forms of expression. The work came into being right after World War II, when the artistic landscape in Germany was reshaping itself.

This work emerged during a period when German artists started representing the human body in more direct and less idealized ways. You can see here how the artist translates natural human forms into metal.

This work is located in the Altona district of Hamburg and can be viewed from the outside. Since it is a bronze sculpture in public space, it is accessible regardless of opening hours.

The bronze surface displays different color tones depending on how natural light hits it and how time has changed it. These color variations come from special surface treatments and the patina that has formed over the decades.
