Early life and education edit

Wagner was born to Jewish–Danish parents on 13 April 1874 in Hamburg. His father was plumber Joseph Meyer Wagner and his mother was Julie Philipsen. He was adopted by his uncle Julius Jacob Heine and Frederikke Wagner in 1892. The family lived in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark.

Wagner attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1889–96. He worked for some time in Vilhelm Bissen's studio and under J.F. Willumsen at Bing & Grøndahl. Wagner worked as a teacher at Tegne- og Kunstindustriskolen for Kvinder in 1898–1900. He married Olga Wagner in 1899.[1]

Career edit

Wagner and Mogens Ballin created a metal workshop in Copenhagen in 1900. In May 1902, Wagner created approximately 65 designs before leaving the workshop in 1902 to assume a position as artistic director of Tvermoes & Abrahamsen's Chandelier Factory.[2]

Wagner was represented at Den Frie Udstilling from 1905. He won the Grand Prix at the World Expo in Paris in 1906.

He died on 1 August 1952 and was buried in Sorgenfri Cemetery (the grave has been removed).[3]

Løveborg edit

Sigfried and Olga Wagner lived with his foster parents in their Villa Ricca on Lottenborgvej in Kongens Lyngby from circa 1900. They purchased the house in 1910. The house was built in 1898 to a design by Carl Brummer but later adapted and richly decorated by the two artists. It was after their acquisition known as Løveborg.[4]

Legacy edit

Wagner's most well-known work is the Lur Blowers on the City Hall Square in Copenhagen. He has also created the Swan Fountain in Varde and a bronze cast of his 1914 bust of Tyge Brahe was installed at the Round Tower in Copenhagen in 1932.

His works for Bing & Grøndahl include the Fleurs de Lotus and Polichinelle vases, both of which were created for the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris and later gifted to Copenhagen City Hall where they are now on display in the Banquet Hall.[5]

In 2006, Vejen Art Museum exhibited works by Olga and Siegfried Wagner, including sculptures, furniture, ceramics, silver and artefacts in wood.[6]
