(Sculpture is NOT part of the auction!) Dimension: 60,2 x 44,2 cm (23.70 x 17.40 in) ___________________________________ Franz Hagenauer (1906 – 1986). At the age of twelve he took Franz Cizek’s course for teens at the School of Applied Arts in Vienna. From 1921 he studied sculpture under Anton Hanak and graduated, in addition, from the "workshop for metal forming” headed by Josef Hoffmann in his last academic year. Franz Hagenauer also was praised by his professors in the highest terms. Hoffmann called him "exceptionally gifted technically and artistically, very industrious and inventive." Even at this time (1925) he provided work for the exhibition space at the World Exhibition in Paris. From 1926, Franz worked as a metal former in his father's business, where he found his artistic fulfilment less in the creation of utility and decorative objects, than in his work as a sculptor. Early on, he created the later-famous big brass busts and figures, mostly done in sheet metal. It was only in the 1960s to 1980s that this design line gained increased recognition and aroused the interest of international art dealers. Franz Hagenauer became a member of the "Kunstschau" and took part in the 1934 Venice Biennale. A very important government commission was for the design and manufacture of large federal eagle inthe Austrian Parliament. Other art objects, but also simple items of equipment (hardware, ashtrays, etc.), can be found in many public buildings. Franz was awarded the 1950 prize of the City of Vienna Applied Arts. In 1962 he was appointed Director of a Master Class for free forms in metal at the University of Applied Arts. Franz died in 1986. A year later, the Hagenauer workshop closed. (karlhagenauer).
