I've no idea about the status of the original work but, while many artworks were destroyed in the Second World War, that's not necessarily the case with all. I've noticed when trying to find further information about obscure artists cited in books that the web still lacks detailed information about many. There are still gaps to be filled, in other words, so we don't know what the future might reveal. Hi Leem.

But what, pray tell, became of the original statue? Was it destroyed in one of the wars, or do those buttocks still greet visitors to some obscure museum in a half-forgotten back street? http://www.p-synd.com/peor1big.jpg I was sufficiently taken with Orpheus’s carefully-sculpted buttocks to produce a contrast-adjusted black and white version, which I think is a slight improvement on the original ropey sepia version.
