Franz Hagenauer, Werkstätte Hagenauer Wien
Franz Hagenauer, Werkstätte Hagenauer Wien
Franz Hagenauer (1906–1986) was an Austrian sculptor and designer and a central figure of the Werkstätte Hagenauer Wien. Trained at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, he developed highly stylized sculptures, busts and functional metal objects in brass, copper and nickel-plated metal. His work ranges from expressive figurative pieces to radically simplified modernist forms.
Werkstätte Hagenauer Wien was a Viennese metal workshop founded by Carl Hagenauer in 1898. Under Karl and Franz Hagenauer it became internationally known for modernist sculptures and functional objects in brass, copper, wood and nickel-plated metal. Its designs range from stylized animals and African-inspired figures to bowls, bookends, mirrors and table accessories, typically marked with the workshop’s wHw monogram.
