#Vienna secession chair series#
In 1903, the magazine Das Interieur published a whole series of new designs (including this chair), that was followed in 1904 by a whole article devoted to modern Austrian wicker furniture in the influential UK publication, The Studio.Ī similar chair to this example sold for $22,000 at Christie’s New York in December 2019. The Vienna Secession (German: Wiener Secession also known as the Union of Austrian Artists, or Vereinigung Bildender Knstler sterreichs) is an art movement, closely related to Art Nouveau, that was formed in 1897 by a group of Austrian painters, graphic artists, sculptors and architects, including Josef Hoffman, Koloman Moser, Otto Wagner and Gustav Klimt. The Vienna Secession (Wiener Secession- Vereinigung Bildender Künstler Österreichs) was an art movement formed in 1897 by a group of Austrian artists who had resigned from the Association of Austrian Artists, housed in the Vienna Künstlerhaus. Among other things, students at the Vienna School of Applied Arts were engaged in providing modern designs for the wickerwork factory of Prag-Rudniker. Members of the Vienna Secession were concerned about the negative consequences of industrial production. The lone decorative element is the chequerboard-like grid of the webbing on the seat and the back of the chair. Designed in 1902 by Moser who was a teacher at the Vienna School of Applied Arts, it is a modern reinterpretation of a traditional 18th-century ladder-back chair. The chair is a prime example of the artistic achievements of the Vienna Secession movement. The buyer was an Austrian dealer bidding on the telephone. The elm and wicker highback chair, designed by Koloman Moser (1868-1918), was found in a junk shop in Brighton by the seller who wishes to remain anonymous. An important example of Vienna Secession furniture, bought earlier this year for just £5 from a junk shop, made £16,250, including premium, at Essex auctioneers, Sworders.
