Carl AUBOCK - Paperweight "Chain"

We are offering this original and massive Carl Auböck Paper-weight in the design of a chain. The design dates back to the 1950s. As Carl Auböck IV explained to me a ritual in the last centuries led to the idea of this chain as a paperweight. Traditionally, in the past centuries a dead sailor has been buried at sea. During this ritual the sailor used to be wrapped in his hammock together with some parts of a heavy anchor chain. This object is handmade in Austria in the Auböck workshop (Vienna, Bernardgasse) which is now run by Carl Auböck IV. The material is steel, brass plated. The object is very heavy (I think almost 1kg) and 21cm long. In my other auctions you will find a nickel plated version of this chain.

Please see my other listings as I offer many beautiful objects from the Auböck Workshop!!

A short introduction about the Werkstätte Carl Auböck
 
Der Wiener Maler und Designer Carl Auböck II zählt zu den bemerkenswertesten Künstlerpersönlichkeiten Österreichs. Nach einer vielseitigen Ausbildung (1914-17 Lehre als Bronzearbeiter und Ziseleur im elterlichen Betrieb, 1917-19 Studium an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Wien, 1919-21 Schüler von Johannes Itten am Bauhaus in Weimar) übernahm er 1926 die väterliche Werkstatt in Wien VII, Bernardgasse 23. Anfang der 40er Jahre entwickelte Auböck jenen unverkennbaren Stil für Gebrauchs-gegenstände gehobenener Wohnkultur, der ihn nach Ende des Krieges im In- und Ausland berühmt machte. Den Höhepunkt bildete die Mailänder Triennale 1954, auf der Auböck vier Goldmedaillen für sein Werk erhielt.
 
Nach seinem Tod führte sein Sohn Carl Auböck III (1924 – 1993), gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Justine, die Werkstätte weiter. Er hatte zuvor ein Architekturstudium in Wien und den USA absolviert, was auch in seinen an das „Industrial Design“ anschließenden Entwürfen zum Ausdruck kommt. Neben der Tätigkeit als Meisterklasseleiter an der Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst in Wien seit 1977 und seinem internationalen Engagement für Architektur, Design, Produktentwicklung und Forschung, entstehen laufend neue Modelle für die Kollektion der Werkstätte. In dieser Zeit entwickelt sich der Betrieb zu einer Produktionsstätte von internationalem Rang. Auböck Design wird in den folgenden Jahrzehnten in allen Metropolen bei den ersten Adressen (Tiffany, Saks, Harrods) angeboten. Seine Nachkommen Maria und Carl Auböck führen die Werkstätte seit dem Tod ihres Vaters weiter und wollen so an das Werk Ihrer Vorfahren anknüpfen.
