Wirkkala, Tapio: Solifleurvase TW36
Est: €350 - €700
Wirkkala, Tapio - Solifleur vase TW36 (Hanko 1915-1985 Helsinki) Manufacturer Kultakeskus Oy, Hämeenlinna 1965. Conical shape over an oval cross-section with two longitudinal ridges. Silver. Artist's monogram, state stamp and fineness 'M916' on the base. H. 23 cm; 136 g. - Cf. fig. TW hand eye and thought, p. 360 Tapio Wirkkala achieved world fame in the early 1950s after the breakthrough of Finnish industrial design. He was an exceptionally prolific artist who mastered almost every material and designed both everyday objects and unique works of art. Wirkkala graduated as a decorative carver from the Taideteollisuuskeskuskoulu (School of Art and Design) in 1936, and after being successful in various design competitions, he began to develop a reputation as a pioneer of glass and silver. One of Wirkkala's most important partners in the silver industry was Kultakeskus, whose production he renewed in the 1950s. During the three decades of co-operation, Wirkkala designed a large number of products for Kultakeskus, many of which were forged by hand. Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) can be considered one of the icons of Finnish design and a symbol of the international success of post-war Finnish design. /// Wirkkala, Tapio Solifleurvase TW36 (Hanko 1915-1985 Helsinki) Hersteller Kultakeskus Oy, Hämeenlinna 1965. Konische Form über ovalem Querschnitt mit zwei Längsgraten. Silber. Am Boden Künstlermonogramm, Staatsstempel und Feingehalt ''M916''. H. 23 cm; 136 g. - Vgl. Abb. TW hand eye and thought, S. 360. Tapio Wirkkala erlangte Anfang der 1950er Jahre nach dem Durchbruch des finnischen Industriedesigns Weltruhm. Er war ein außergewöhnlich produktiver Künstler, der fast jedes Material beherrschte und sowohl Alltagsgegenstände als auch einzigartige Kunstwerke entwarf. Wirkkala schloss 1936 sein Studium als dekorativer Schnitzer an der Taideteollisuuskeskuskoulu (Schule für Kunst und Design) ab, nachdem er bei verschiedenen Designwettbewerben erfolgreich war, begann er sich einen Ruf als Pionier für Glas und Silber zu erarbeiten. Einer der wichtigsten Partner von Wirkkala in der Silberindustrie war Kultakeskus, dessen Produktion er in den 1950er Jahren erneuerte. In den drei Jahrzehnten der Zusammenarbeit entwarf Wirkkala eine Vielzahl von Produkten für Kultakeskus, von denen viele von Hand geschmiedet wurden. Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) kann als eine der Ikonen des finnischen Designs und als Symbol für den internationalen Erfolg des finnischen Designs der Nachkriegszeit bezeichnet werden.

Provenance: Private Collection, Ithaca, New York. About the collection: The late collector's wife recalls their first glass purchase in a London antique shop circa 1985, which ignited a 30+ year passion for the genre. The couple and their daughter acquired pieces individually during their travels around Western Europe, Toronto, and New York, and ultimately amassed around 300 vessels and sculptures by artists including Fulvio Bianconi, Toots Zynsky, Carlo Scarpa, Ercole Barovier, Paolo Venini, Vittorio Ferro and others. "My husband became a student of the art he collected," recalls Mrs. N. and their daughter. "With each new artist he admired, he would buy books about them, and the biographies and catalogs became catalysts for acquiring more pieces. He was always looking for variety, and he would seek out individual pieces to round out a segment of the collection. When something caught his eye, he pounced on it, and if he couldn't have that particular piece, he'd search for one like it."

TAPIO WIRKKALA (Hanko, Finland, 1915-Helsinki, 1985) for Littala Glassworks. Center "Lunaria", 1972. Glass. Signed: "Tapio Wirkkala, 3449". Measurements: 40 cm (diameter). Centerpiece model "Lunaria", made of cut glass with rich translucent textures. Designed by Tapio Wirkkala in 1972, this beautiful piece is inspired by the craters of the moon. Tapio Wirkkala was a multi-talented design genius, widely considered a leading figure in modern Finnish industrial art. A multi-faceted artist, his art ranged from glass, furniture and product design to sculpture and urban planning. Wirkkala exhibited all over the world, but was a recluse by nature. His favorite place was a spot so remote in the deep forests of central Finland that helicopters delivered prototypes to his cabin, as no automobile could reach him. It was in nature that he found his much-loved solitude and inspiration for the forms that industry could produce or works of art could create. That same year the director of the Venini glassworks offered him a collaboration with his company. Present on numerous occasions in Murano between late 1965 and 1970 and again in the early 1980s, Wirkkala progressively gained confidence in both the filigree technique and the "discovery" of color. He excelled in the use of the incalmo technique to create polychrome objects in transparent glass that achieved remarkable commercial success. Throughout his incredibly productive career, Wirkkala received numerous awards, including three gold medals at the Milan Triennale, the Lunning Prize, the Pro Finlandia Medal and the Prince Eugen Medal. Awards and distinctions: 1st and 2nd place, Bank of Finland Banknote Design Competition 1947, 4 awards, Olympic Stamp Design 1951, for the 1952 Summer Olympic Games, 3 Grand Prizes at the 9th Milan Triennale, 1951, 3 Grand Prizes, at the 10th Milan Triennale, 1954, Lunning Prize 1951, Order of the Lion of Finland - medal 1955, 1st place, Brussels Universal Exhibition 1957, Medal of the year 1958 of the Society of Industrial Arts, Grand Prize and Gold Medal, Milan 1960, Silver Medal, Milan 1963.Domus Golden Obelisk.
