An original limited-edition bronze sculpture by renowned South African artist, cartoonist and sculptor Dov Fedler (19402025), depicting one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century, Albert Einstein.
This expressive bronze exemplifies Fedler's distinctive sculptural style, combining caricature, humour and remarkable characterisation. Rather than pursuing photographic realism, Fedler captures Einstein's intellectual curiosity and larger-than-life personality through exaggerated features, an upward gaze and energetic modelling. The result is a work that is instantly recognisable while remaining deeply personal to the artist's vision.
The sculpture is signed "Dov Fedler", dated 2001 and individually numbered 7/15, indicating that it originates from a very limited edition of only fifteen casts. The title "Einstein" is inscribed on the back of the base.
Dov Fedler was one of South Africa's most celebrated cartoonists and artists, known for his long association with The Star newspaper and for his significant contribution to South African visual culture. His sculptures of notable historical and intellectual figures, including Einstein, Gandhi, Churchill and Mother Teresa, are among his most sought-after three-dimensional works.
