Biography
Sculptor, Etcher, Engraver, b. 1897, Tchernikov Bokovina. Reder studied three years at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. In 1935, he had his first solo exhibition at the gallery of Manes, an association of artists in Prague. Two years later he moved to France and lived near the sculptor Maillol who befriended him. He exhibited at the Wildenstein Gallery in Paris in 1940 but had to flee Paris; all the works in his studio were later destroyed by the Germans. In 1941, he worked on woodcuts and drawings in Spain and Havana Cuba. In 1943, he acquired a Guggenheim fellowship, and was shown regularly at the Whitney Museum and was shown at the Philadelphia Museum in 1949. Reders bronze works have included musical subjects, and biblical and religious figures based on Jewish traditions. In 1960, he was awarded membership in the Academy of Arts and Letters. In 1961 he was given a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum. Reders works are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Jewish Museum in New York City; the National Gallery, Washington, D.C. and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
