Richard Meier for Acerbis International Grandfather Clock

About the Item

Designed in 1996 for Acerbis International, Italy, white lacquered wood, quartz clock with precision mechanism, height 195 cm, 35 x 35 cm Prototype of a small series of only a few examples, produced from 1996 to 2003. "Referencing the compositional attitude of de Stijl, this two-meter-high standing clock is an assemblage of orthogonally-positioned planes of divergent forms and dimensions. As in the paintings of Mondrian and van Doesburg, a dynamic equilibrium disciplines the figure's asymmetry. Its elements are composed to effect a visual traveling about its "front" elevation which echoes the clockwise movement of the time-telling mechanism. Sculptured for viewing from all sides, the standing clock is best positioned as a free-standing object so as to the reveal its changing scapes as one circles it in space. The uniformly white, matte lacquer finish allows for an uninterrupted play of light and shadow on the clock's surfaces, and focuses attention on its composition and function." (Richard Meier).

Rosewood Grandfather Clock
Located in New Orleans, LA
This magnificent English longcase, or grandfather, clock boasts a fine rosewood case inlaid with an intricate, balanced design. The face is crafted of chased silver in a foliate motif with fully hallmarked numerals by London silversmith James Stedstone Gouldsmith. The clock is a three-train movement run by three silver-plated weights and a mercury pendulum. The three weights power the time, the hour chime and the quarter-hour chime, and the clock strikes on nine tubular bells with a choice of either Whittington or Westminster chimes. Known commonly as “grandfather” clocks, it was not until the late 19th century that longcase clocks garnered this name. According to the origin tale, two brothers named Jenkins owned the George Hotel...
