Sultry Awakening Sculpture By Klara Sever

powerful and sculpturally refined figurative work titled Sultry Awakening, created by Klara Sever and produced by Austin Productions in 1979, during the company’s most artistically ambitious period. Klara Sever was among the select artists whose designs elevated Austin Productions beyond decorative objects into expressive, gallery-worthy sculpture. Her works are recognized for their emotional tension, elongated proportions, and dramatic interaction between form and gravity—hallmarks clearly present in Sultry Awakening. This sculpture captures a moment of suspended movement: an arched female figure, poised between vulnerability and strength, with flowing hair seamlessly integrated into the base. The composition creates a continuous vertical rhythm that reads differently from every viewing angle, making it especially compelling as a standalone statement piece. Finished in a deep black patinated surface, the sculpture reveals subtle highlights along the contours, emphasizing musculature, posture, and motion. The base is signed and dated 1979, confirming both authorship and period authenticity.
