Der Bildhauer und Zeichner Christoph Voll war Ende der 1920er Jahre und in den 1930er Jahren ein bekannter und hochgeachteter Künstler, aber nach den dramatischen Ereignissen des II. Weltkrieges geriet er fast vollständig in Vergessenheit. Sein frühzeitiger Tod und die Auswirkungen des Krieges auf seine Produktion und Oeuvre bedeuten, dass, obwohl er in deutschen Museen breit vertreten ist und im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte sich ihm einige Publikationen und Einzelausstellungen widmeten, zuletzt 2007 im Gerhard-Marcks-Haus in Bremen, seine Skulpturen und Grafiken weiterhin gewissermaßen als Geheimtipp gelten. In dieser Auktion können wir die „Ruhende“ anbieten, die in die erste große Monographie zu Christoph Voll, geschrieben 1975 von Wilhelm Weber, aufgenommen wurde.
Christoph Voll kam als Sohn eines Bildhauers und einer Malerin in München zur Welt, aber er verbrachte den größten Teil seiner Kindheit in einem Waisenhaus. Die dort erlebten Entbehrungen und die harten Lebensumstände der einfachen Bevölkerung, mit denen er ab seiner frühen Kindheit konfrontiert war, schlugen sich später in seinem Werk nieder. Als 15-Jähriger begann Voll eine Bildhauerlehre in Dresden, und seine Ausbildung setzte er nach einem vierjährigem Kriegseinsatz im I. Weltkrieg an der Dresdner Akademie fort. 1920 trat der Künstler der „Dresdner Secession Gruppe 1919“ bei, wo er ein enger Freund von Künstlern wie Otto Dix und Conrad Felixmüller wurde.
Voll zog 1924 nach Saarbrücken, wo ihm eine Lehrstelle an der dortigen Kunstakademie angeboten wurde. Im folgenden Jahr wurde er zum Professor ernannt, wechselte aber wieder im Jahr 1928, nachdem er den Lehrstuhl für Bildhauerei an der Landeskunstschule in Karlsruhe erhielt.
Die 1920er Jahre waren für den Künstler von einer regen Ausstellungstätigkeit geprägt. Er schuf in dieser Zeit expressiv-realistische Holzskulpturen, in denen er Arbeiter, Bettler, Bauern und Kinder in eindringlicher Individualität porträtierte. Ab 1928, nach seiner Berufung und seinem damit einhergehenden Einkommen, wandte sich Voll der Steinbildhauerei als seinem Hauptmedium zu, es entstand eine Reihe blockhafter Frauenakte wie die „Ruhende“, in denen eine kraftvolle, in sich ruhende Sinnlichkeit mit der Härte des Steins kontrastiert.
Mit der Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten wurde Voll als „entartet“ abgestempelt, er konnte jedoch sein Lehramt zunächst weiter ausüben und noch 1935 ausstellen. Zwei Jahre später wurden Werke von ihm bei der Ausstellung „Entartete Kunst“ in München gezeigt, er wurde seines Amtes enthoben.
Christoph Voll verstarb 1939 im Alter von 42 Jahren. Seine Witwe, die dänische Malerin Erna Sørensen, war mit der gemeinsamen Tochter nach Dänemark geflohen, und dort in Kopenhagen wurde ein wesentlicher Teil des künstlerischen Nachlasses während des Krieges aufbewahrt. In den darauffolgenden Jahren wurde die Sammlung zurück nach Karlsruhe geführt, wo der Direktor der Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, Dr. Kurt Martin, die Entstehung eines neuen Verzeichnisses von Volls Werk leitete. Dies ist die Sammlung, die heute die „Christoph Voll Nachlass Sammlung“ bildet.

The sculptor and draughtsman Christoph Voll was a well-known and highly esteemed artist in the late 1920s and 1930s, but became almost completely forgotten after the dramatic events of World War II. His untimely death and the impact of the War on his production and oeuvre has meant that despite being widely represented at German museums and having several publications and solo exhibitions devoted to his work in recent decades - most recently at the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus in Bremen in 2007 - his sculptures and graphics are still considered somewhat of an insider tip. At this auction we are able to offer “Ruhende”, which was included in the first major monograph on Christoph Voll, written by Wilhelm Weber in 1975.
Christoph Voll was born in Munich as the son of a sculptor and a painter, but spent the majority of his childhood in an orphanage. The privations he experienced there and the difficult living conditions of the common people, with which he was confronted from a very young age, left their mark on his work. As a 15-year-old Voll began an apprenticeship as a sculptor in Dresden; and after four years of wartime military service during WW1, he continued his training at the academy in Dresden. In 1920, the artist joined the “Dresden Secession Group 1919” where he become close friends with artists like Otto Dix and Conrad Felixmüller.
In 1924 Voll moved to Saarbrücken, where he had been offered a teaching position at the local art academy. He was named a professor the following year, but moved again in 1928, after winning the chair in sculpture at the Landeskunstschule in Karlsruhe.
The 1920s were defined by the artist's very active participation in exhibitions. During this period, he created expressively realistic sculptures in wood, which portray workers, beggars, farmers and children with a penetrating individuality. From 1928, following his appointment and the associated income, Voll turned to stone as his primary material and created a series of female nudes like “Ruhende”, in which a powerful, quiescent sensuality stands in contrast to the hardness of the stone.
When the Nazis seized power, Voll was labelled “degenerate”, but was initially able to continue in his teaching position and still exhibit his work in 1935. Two years later, works by him were shown in the “Degenerate Art”, exhibition in Munich and he was dismissed from his position.
Christoph Voll died in 1939 at the age of 42. His widow, the Danish painter Erna Sørensen, had fled to Denmark with their daughter and there, in Copenhagen, a substantial part of the artist's estate was safeguarded during the War. In the following years, the collection was returned to Karlsruhe, where the director of Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, Dr Kurt Martin, spearheaded the creation of a new inventory of Voll's work. It is this collection which today forms the Christoph Voll Nachlass Sammlung.

Conditions of Sale
1. The art auction house, Kunsthaus Lempertz KG (henceforth referred to as Lempertz), conducts public auctions in terms of § 383 paragraph 3 sentence 1 of the Civil Code as commissioning agent on behalf of the accounts of submitters, who remain anonymous. With regard to its auctioneering terms and conditions drawn up in other languages, the German version remains the official one.
2. The auctioneer reserves the right to divide or combine any catalogue lots or, if it has special reason to do so, to offer any lot for sale in an order different from that given in the catalogue or to withdraw any lot from the sale.
3. All lots put up for sale may be viewed and inspected prior to the auction. The catalogue specifications and related specifications appearing on the internet, which have both been compiled in good conscience, do not form part of the contractually agreed to conditions. These specifications have been derived from the status of the information available at the time of compiling the catalogue. They do not serve as a guarantee in legal terms and their purpose is purely in the information they provide. The same applies to any reports on an item’s condition or any other information, either in oral or written form. Certificates or certifications from artists, their estates or experts relevant to each case only form a contractual part of the agreement if they are specifically mentioned in the catalogue text. The state of the item is generally not mentioned in the catalogue. Likewise missing specifications do not constitute an agreement on quality. All items are used goods.
4. Warranty claims are excluded. In the event of variances from the catalogue descriptions, which result in negation or substantial diminution of value or suitability, and which are reported with due justification within one year after handover, Lempertz nevertheless undertakes to pursue its rights against the seller through the courts; in the event of a successful claim against the seller, Lempertz will reimburse the buyer only the total purchase price paid. Over and above this, Lempertz undertakes to reimburse its commission within a given period of three years after the date of the sale if the object in question proves not to be authentic.
5. Claims for compensation as the result of a fault or defect in the object auctioned or damage to it or its loss, regardless of the legal grounds, or as the result of variances from the catalogue description or statements made elsewhere are excluded unless Lempertz acted with wilful intent or gross negligence; the liability for bodily injury or damages caused to health or life remains unaffected. In other regards, point 4 applies.
6. Submission of bids. Bids in attendance: The floor bidder receives a bidding number on presentation of a photo ID. Lempertz reserves the right to grant entry to the auction. If the bidder is not known to Lempertz, registration must take place 24 hours before the auction is due to begin in writing on presentation of a current bank reference. Bids in absentia: Bids can also be submitted either in writing, telephonically or via the internet. The placing of bids in absentia must reach Lempertz 24 hours before the auction to ensure the proper processing thereof. The item must be mentioned in the bid placed, together with the lot number and item description. In the event of ambiguities, the listed lot number becomes applicable. The placement of a bid must be signed by the applicant. The regulations regarding revocations and the right to return the goods in the case of long distance agreements (§ 312b-d of the Civil Code) do not apply. Telephone bids: Establishing and maintaining a connection cannot be vouched for. In submitting a bid placement, the bidder declares that he agrees to the recording of the bidding process. Bids via the internet: They will only be accepted by Lempertz if the bidder registered himself on the internet website beforehand. Lempertz will treat such bids in the same way as bids in writing.
7. Carrying out the auction: The hammer will come down when no higher bids are submitted after three calls for a bid. In extenuating circumstances, the auctioneer reserves the right to bring down the hammer or he can refuse to accept a bid. If several individuals make the same bid at the same time, and after the third call, no higher bid ensues, then the ticket becomes the deciding factor. The auctioneer can retract his acceptance of the bid and auction the item once more if a higher bid that was submitted on time, was erroneously overlooked and immediately queried by the bidder, or if any doubts regarding its acceptance arise. Written bids are only played to an absolute maximum by Lempertz if this is deemed necessary to outbid
another bid. The auctioneer can bid on behalf of the submitter up to the agreed limit, without revealing this and irrespective of whether other bids are submitted. Even if bids have been placed and the hammer has not come down, the auctioneer is only liable to the bidder in the event of premeditation or gross negligence.
8. Once a lot has been knocked down, the successful bidder is obliged to buy it. If a bid is accepted conditionally, the bidder is bound by his bid until four weeks after the auction unless he immediately withdraws from the conditionally accepted bid. From the fall of the hammer, possession and risk pass directly to the buyer, while ownership passes to the buyer only after full payment has been received.
9. Up to a hammer price of € 400,000 a premium of 24 % calculated on the hammer price plus 19 % value added tax (VAT) calculated on the premium only is levied. The premium will be reduced to 20 % (plus VAT) on any amount surpassing € 400,000 (margin scheme). On lots which are characterized by N, an additional 7 % for import tax will be charged. On lots which are characterized by an D, 35% is calculated on the hammer price (24% buyer´s premium + 19% VAT on the premium only + import tax). 31% is calculated on the amount surpassing € 400.000. The D objects contain all taxes, and tehy can not be carried away immediately. On lots which are characterized by an R, the buyer shall pay a premium of 24 % on the hammer price up to € 400,000 and 20 % on the surpassing amount; onto this (hammer price and premium) the statutory VAT of 19 % will be added (regular scheme). Exports to third (i.e. non-EU) countries will be exempt from VAT, and so will be exports made by companies from other EU member states if they state their VAT identification number. For original works of art, whose authors are either still alive or died after 31.12.1948, a charge of 1.8 % on the hammer price will be levied for the droit de suite. The maximum charge is € 12,500. If a buyer exports an object to a third country personally, the VAT will be refunded, as soon as Lempertz receives the export and import papers. All invoices issued on the day of auction or soon after remain under provision.
10. Successful bidders attending the auction in person shall forthwith upon the purchase pay to Lempertz the final price (hammer price plus premium and VAT) in Euro. Payments by foreign buyers who have bid in writing or by proxy shall also be due forthwith upon the purchase, but will not be deemed to have been delayed if received within ten days of the invoice date. Bank transfers are to be exclusively in Euros. The request for an alteration of an auction invoice to a person other than the bidder has to be made immediately after the auction. Lempertz however reserves the right to refuse such a request if it is deemed appropriate.
11. In the case of payment default, Lempertz will charge 1% interest on the outstanding amount of the gross price per month.. If the buyer defaults in payment, Lempertz may at its discretion insist on performance of the purchase contract or, after allowing a period of grace, claim damages for non-performance. In the latter case, Lempertz may determine the amount of the damages by putting the lot or lots up for auction again, in which case the defaulting buyer will bear the amount of any reduction in the proceeds compared with the earlier auction, plus the cost of resale, including the premium.
12. Buyers must take charge of their purchases immediately after the auction. Once a lot has been sold, the auctioneer is liable only for wilful intent or gross negligence. Lots will not, however, be surrendered to buyers until full payment has been received. Without exception, shipment will be at the expense and risk of the buyer. Purchases which are not collected within four weeks after the auction may be stored and insured by Lempertz on behalf of the buyer and at its expense in the premises of a freight agent. If Lempertz stores such items itself, it will charge 1 % of the hammer price for insurance and storage costs.
13. As far as this can be agreed, the place of performance and jurisdiction is Cologne. German law applies; the German law for the protection of cultural goods applies; the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) are not applicable. Should any provision herein be wholly or partially ineffective, this will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
