Anton Büschelberger
Anton Büschelberger (born September 9, 1869 in Eger , † July 3, 1934 in Dresden ) was a German art sculptor .
Live and act
Büschelberger came from a family of artists. His father Georg Friedrich Christian was already active as a sculptor. In 1870 the von Eger family moved to Neuses near Coburg. Anton Büschelberger moved to the art metropolis of Munich , where he studied at the art academy. He then moved to Dresden and married Anna Seibt in August 1899. This marriage resulted in four sons, including Friedrich Büschelberger , who emulated his father and also became an art sculptor.
The focus of his artistic activity was on realistic animal sculptures , which he often had cast bronze . He obtained the templates for the animal sculptures at the Dresden Zoo, where he filled countless sketchbooks with drafts. For many years Büschelberger also worked as a freelancer for the porcelain factory of Friedrich Karl Ens in Rudolstadt-Volkstedt, Thuringia . This collaboration ended in 1931 when the manufactory was hit by the global economic crisis .
Works by Anton Büschelberger can now be found frequently in German art auction houses. The grave of Anton Büschelberger can be found in the Johannisfriedhof in Dresden.
On September 29, 2019, an episode of the NDR's Lieb & Teuer program was broadcast, moderated by Janin Ullmann and filmed in Reinbek Castle . In it, a bronze sculpture by Büschelberger was discussed with the art historian Stephan Schwarzl, which shows a young bear on a branch.
