A rare and emotionally resonant bronze and mixed-media sculpture by internationally acclaimed artist Tolla Inbar, titled “Accumulating Knowledge” (2006). Inbar is celebrated for her elongated, expressive figures that explore themes of aspiration, learning, spiritual elevation, and the structures that support personal growth.
This substantial work depicts a seated female figure balanced atop a vertical stack of sculpted books—an elegant metaphor for knowledge, study, and intellectual ascent. The figure’s elongated proportions and contemplative posture exemplify Inbar’s signature style, infusing the piece with both grace and psychological depth.
At 37.5 inches tall, “Accumulating Knowledge” is a commanding tabletop or pedestal sculpture with strong vertical presence and architectural clarity. The compact 7” × 5” base allows for versatile placement while maintaining dramatic scale.
Signed by the artist.
From a distinguished Southern California estate collection.
Tolla Inbar (b. 1958)
German-born, Israel-based contemporary sculptor. Her bronze works examine the human desire to ascend—emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Trained at Merz School and the Avni Institute, with further studies in psychology and sociology, Inbar weaves symbolic and philosophical themes into her figurative works. Book-, rope-, and ladder-based pieces from the early-to-mid 2000s are especially sought after by collectors.
