Grete Margaret Schüller


Grete Margaret Schüller is an American sculptor best known, along with John B. Flannagan and William Zorach, for works in direct carving in the United States. She maintained a studio in both New York City and in Long Island.

Early years

Schüller, born in Austria on April 26, 1900, was a twentieth century contemporary artist devoted to the creation of animal-inspired sculptures. Through a lifetime of artistic experimentation, she created works, at once subtle and bold, traditional and modern, setting a new standard in a subject matter directly connecting with nature.
