Description

This is a detailed bronze bust of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a famous German poet, novelist, playwright, courtier, and natural philosopher. An outdoor bronze bust of  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe by sculptor Carl Fischer is installed on the south side of Blaine Park in Manhattan, New York. It is a replica of an iron and copper bust created by Fischer in 1832, the year of Goethe’s death. Acquired by the Goethe Institute in 1987, it was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art until it moved to Bryant Park in 1932. After being installed there, the iron and copper bust was replaced by a bronze casting and dedicated on 15 February, 1932. The sculpture was renovated in 1992 by the Bryant Park Restoration Company. The sculpture sits on a pedestal of Swedish black granite.

This 1883 bust of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a famous German poet, writer, and playwright, was created by the Stuttgart sculptor Adolf von Dondorff. It was originally erected in The Alley of Pupp in front of the Grand Pupp Hotel. It was built to commemorate Goethe’s thirteenth visit to Karlovy Vary. It was inaugurated in 1833 with a speech by The German writer and playwright Heinrich Laube. After World War II, the monument was removed as part of a national decontamination effort. In 1952, the bust was reinstalled on a new plinth beside Avenue Goethe, not far from the gallery. Regrettably, the architectural harmony of the work was damaged by the destruction of the original archaic plinth and the relocation of the monument to the limited space of the embankment. This monumental bust of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe sculpture can be placed in your outdoor garden.
