Mary Tarleton Knollenberg bronze sculpture The Bather

The Bathers bronze sculpture by Chester CT sculptor Mrs. Knollenberg (her late husband was the historian Bernard Knollenberg) studied first in New York, and in 1933 she won a Guggenheim Fellowship to study in Paris. September 6th 1981 Article in the New York Times about the show at The Wall Focus Gallery In Chester CT where this sculpture was purchased. It was one of seventeen pieces exhibited. Measures 14 inches high, signed lower right. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D04EEDF103BF935A3575AC0A967948260 "Looking at work like this makes one wonder. Although Mary Tarleton Knollenberg has shown her sculpture at a number of museums and galleries around Connecticut, including such institutions as the Yale University Art Gallery and the Lyman Allyn Museum in New London, she seems to have avoided or, perhaps, been avoided by the New York art world. Her work, though unconventional, is of real quality and deserves to be better known." Born 1904 Died 1992. Cast by the Modern Art Fndy NY

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
