Important Cobra and Situationist Group Artist Constant Table Set
About the Item
Super rare and important set of three "IJHORST" tables designed by important COBRA group artist and visionary Situationist group founding member ,artist and architect Constant van Niewenhuys(1920-2005),(dutch spelling Nieuwenhuijs)abbreviated to CONSTANT.
The Ijhorst tables were designed in 1953 and only produced during the brief period 1957-8 by the company t Spectrum in the Netherlands and are extremely rare. A set like this is a super rare opportunity for collectors of design art.
Constant was one of the most important and influential of the postwar dutch artists and was a founding member of both the important postwar artists group COBRA (Karel Appel,Asger Jorn,Lucebert et al) and the radical SITUATIONIST INTERNATIONAL movement in Paris under the leadership of Guy Debord.He also provided the spatial colourization (colour schemes) for several of Gerrit Rietveld’s architectural projects.
Constant's paintings can be found in museum collections throughout the world including the collections of the Tate gallery, London, the Musee National d’art Moderne Centre Georges Pompidou,Paris and the Neue Nationalgalerie,Berlin.
A biography file including a very interesting interview with Constant where he also comments on his working relationship with Gerrit Rietveld can be supplied to clients who are interested in discovering more about this important artist.

Rare Free-Form Table by Sculptor Knut Hesterberg, Published
By Knut Hesterberg
Located in bergen op zoom, NL
This beautiful and elegant free-form table by German sculptor Knut Hesterberg was produced by the German company, Ronald Schmidt, in very small numbers during the short period of 1974-1975 and so is very rarely seen on the market. The sculptural base is made of pressure die cast aluminium.
This design is published as Figure 30 in Belloli's monograph on Hesterberg's work entitled "Knut Hesterberg, Skulptur and design" by Carlo Belloli, Milan, Italy which was published in 1983. A copy of the original page documenting this table will be provided to the buyer. (please see image 4).
Knut Hesterberg is a world famous German sculptor who started his career at the graphic arts and design studio in Zurich, Switzerland where he came into contact with the architect and artist Max Bill who had a great influence on his future work. He has exhibited his sculptures all over Europe and many of his large scale sculptures are permanently installed in public spaces throughout Germany and a few in Italy (please see image 10 for an example) . In the late 1960s he was asked to design a series of limited production sculptural form tables...
