Out of the Box Chair by Harush Shlomo



Out of the Box Chair by Harush Shlomo

Via Wright Auctions. Sold for $15,000 on December 10, 2019.

Harush Shlomo was Born in Jerusalem in 1961, he studied Middle Eastern history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Photography at Hadassa Community College in Jerusalem (1987-1990). After living and working in Milan from 1990 to 1997, Harush moved to New York City in 1998 where he has worked since in a studio in Brooklyn, creating multiple disciplined art:
sculptures, photography, installations, paintings, and mixed media.

Harush’s main focus in recent years has been the metamorphosis of forms and materials, achieving intriguing interrelations between art and industry while constantly challenging boundaries. Exploring with industrial materials, including aluminum and stainless steel, he blends everyday subjects and objects into his work, while manipulating them in order to turn away from the archetypal towards new and unexpected emblems.

He was a major figure in Jugendstil, the German form of Art Nouveau, and a founder of architecture in the style. A founder member of both the Vereinigte Werkstätte für Kunst im Handwerk (United Workshops for Art in Handcrafts) and the Deutscher Werkbund and the director of art and design institutions in Munich and Cologne, he prized craftsmanship but also pioneered machine production of artistically designed objects.
