1967 Limited Edition Original Lithograph of Female Figures by German Artist Ugge Bärtle.
From afar, and at first glance, this piece appears to be a bold abstract work, but upon further inspection, there is a playful exuberance perfectly exemplifying Bärtle’s emphasis on the female figure. Each form feels joyous, energetic, and even cheeky (literally). There is what looks to be the number 60 near the center of the work, so perhaps this is a celebration of the youthfulness that lives on, even as we reach a more mature age. A truly charming piece that is a pleasure to look upon. Signed, dated 1967, and numbered 41/120.
Newly re-framed in a vintage dark brown wood frame, with new off-white mat, non-glare acrylic, and new backing + hardware. Lithograph has a minor crease near the bottom edge (see last detail photo), frame has minor wear. Overall very good vintage condition.
22” h x 17.75” w

About the artist:
Eugen “Ugge” Bärtle (1907-1990)- was an accomplished German artist best known for his sculptures and lithographs. He came from a long line of creatives- both his father and grandfather were architects, and his mother was a painter. Bärtle completed an apprenticeship as a stonemason in 1927, and then went on to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, followed by extensive study throughout Europe.
Bärtle had a particular affinity for working with bronze and exploring the fusion of horse and rider as primary subject matter. He was also greatly inspired by the human form, and this remained his favorite subject matter throughout his lifetime.
His work has been widely exhibited throughout Germany, and many of his sculptures can be found in public spaces in Tübingen and beyond. In the 1980s, Bärtle turned his home and studio into a dedicated exhibition space, complete with sculpture garden, as he wanted the public to share in his work. The home, left in its original condition upon Bärtle’s death in 1990, remains open to visitors on a limited basis.
