We will introduce on this page each month a new and special Teddy Bear of the HERMANN Collection.
The HERMANN
Artline
Bear is made of
handpainted German mohair. Each bear is a little different and unique. The
size is 13 3/4 inch. Limited American Edition 1500 pieces. Each Bear comes
with a Certification of Authenticity, handsigned
by the two designers Dagmar Stunck and Ulla Hermann.
Bear-Design: Ulla
Hermann
Mohair-Design: Dagmar Strunck
Dagmar Strunck designs and paints mohair-fabrics exclusively for Schulte-Mohair. In 1997 HERMANN-Coburg presented this Artline bear exclusivly for QVC Inc. The bear is made of handpainted fabric designed by Dagmar Strunk. The pattern for this Teddy Bear was designed by Ulla Hermann.
When Dagmar Strunck was 15 years old, she started her professional career as a painter. The work of Kandinski, van Gogh, Paul Klee, Otto Dix, Gustav Klimmt and the "Era of Expressionism" had an influence on her work. In 1991 Dagmar started "Beartime" while collecting Teddy Bears. One year later she opened a specialty shop called Baerenhoehle. Since 1993 she has been creating Artist Bears and ART-Bears for commercial use. Some of her ART-Bears require more than 100 hours workingtime. Her work is always a reflection of society, culture and topical news. In 1996, the Artist Bear called "Poldie" was an important step for Dagmar Strunck in presenting her unique colorful bears as "Artwork". He was featured as the February 1996 Cover Bear for the Teddy Bear and Friends* and Dagmar was profiled in an informative article in the same issue.

The mohair fabric for the Hermann Artline Bear is painted and designed by Dagmar in her own studio. The fabrics are painted by a selection of more than 100 mixable colors in a frame that holds up to 4 yards of material at a time. Responding to the structure of the fabric, she uses different methods and tools for painting. The paintbrush, airbrush systems, sponges and her hands allow her to choose to work on the backing of the fabric, on the pile of the fabric or only on the tips of the pile. The most important consideration in developing a painted design, is the use of the fabric structure, and the choice of colors to create her unique style of Bearmaking.
