Alexander Oppler

Alexander Oppler (10 February 1869 – 18 March 1937) was a German sculptor of Jewish ancestry; best known for his portrait busts.

He was an early member of the Deutscher Künstlerbund (Artists' Association), and took part in their first exhibition, in 1904, at what is now the Staatliche Antikensammlungen (antiquities collection) in Munich; represented by two marble statues and a plaster bust.

He considered his most important work to be the fountain at Olivaer Platz [de] in Berlin, which the Nazis destroyed.

[3] A sculpture he created for his family grave at the Parkfriedhof Lichterfelde [de] has also been lost.

Many of his works were saved by his daughter Ellen, when she emigrated to the United States.
