About the Item

Artist: Chuck Krause (1949) Title: 1960s Philmore M-18 RCA Pill Microphone Repurposed Lamp Sculpture w/Base Year: Repurposed in 2020 - repurposed non-working vintage microphone  - overall height (includes stand): 11-1/4”  - microphone: 5-1/2” x 2-1/4”  - includes metal base 6” x 4”  - total weight: 1 pound  - completely re-wired with inline on/off switch  - wear consistent with age and use  - low voltage, led, cool to the touch  - artist’s signature hand incised on base Notes: Philmore M-18 model dual crystal microphone from the 1960's era includes an original and unique period desk stand. The microphone was produced by a couple of Japanese manufacturers including Aiwa and resembled (only in looks) the much higher quality R.C.A. ribbon microphones made famous during the 1940's and 50's. Mic has a very nice physical condition, being free of any fractures or corrosion. The metal screens are free of any dents and have a nice overall luster. There are just a couple tiny scuff marks and scratches on the bottom of the lower black plastic piece. The thumb screws tighten just as they should though. This stand is quite unique and very rare. This is the first of its type and makes a very stable base. It's solid metal (aluminum) with a short polished chrome riser. As seen in the pictures provided this desk stand has lite wear. The riser shows no wear. The stand has a nice finish with lite scratches and scuffs. It even come with 6 new felt pads to keep the base from scratching any surface. CHUCK KRAUSE (1949) Art and design has always played a large role in Krause’s life. Raised in a home with modern art, sculptures, graphic and contemporary furniture, his appreciation for minimalist design grew from childhood. Krause worked at commercial art and graphic design studios, and an architectural firm while developing his own designs and techniques. Self-taught, he learned how to work with various materials and experimented with screen printing, photography, woodworking and metalworking. A recurring theme in Krause’s work, designing and re-purposing objects with an appreciation for history and material culture has been a life long process and a passion which continues to be evident in his present work. Krause cites influences in the decorative arts including Alvar Aalto, Charles and Ray Eames, Paul Frankl, Paul Evans, Poul Kjærholm, Jules Leleu, Florence Knoll, George Nakashima, George Nelson, Gio Ponti, Jean Prouvé, Eero Saarinen, Ettore Sottsass, Hans J. Wegner, and Frank Lloyd Wright. In the visual arts Krause’s influences are as varied as, Lillian Bassman, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Chuck Close, Jim Dine, Joan Miró, Tracey Emin, Donald Judd, Roy Lichtenstein, Louise Nevelson, Pablo Picasso, Herb Ritts, Edward Ruscha, John Singer Sargent, James Turrell, and Andy Warhol.
