#KönigEdition Erwin Wurm x König Galerie x KPM Berlin ERWIN WURM @erwinwurm ONKEL, 2022 Porzellanvase Ab sofort erhältlich @koeniggalerie Erwin Wurm's ONKEL is the product of a collaboration with the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (KPM), a porcelain manufacturer located in Berlin, with a rich history dating back to the middle of the 18th-century. For this unique edition, Wurm designed a vase that takes the form of the torso of a figure in a suit and button-up shirt, though absent certain defining features. The opening of ONKEL is where the head of this figure might be, hollowed out to allow for flowers or other arrangements to take their place within the object. The so-called "body" of the vase is in fact a body, without head or hands, but standing upright, a contemporary update to the noble figures that once employed the regal porcelain studios. Due to the extremely labour-intensive process of producing the vase, only 25 examples will be available for purchase on the release date, after which, interested collectors will be placed on a waiting list for one of the remaining editions. It takes roughly a month to make 5 vases, as each version of ONKEL is unique and features intricate variations on the central figure. These include decoration on the lapel of the vase’s suit jack, different glazes, and other defining ornamentation, all of which will be meticulously produced according to standards in place for over 250 years. #kpmberlin #porzellan #königedition #königgalerie #erwinwurm #manufaktur #berlin Details: Unique vases, signed with stamp on the bottom
