About the Item

Rare 1970s Mid-Century Modern Brutalist, 3 candle candelabra, hand forged by the hands of Hungarian blacksmith János Lehoczky. Height includes candles, without is 12", candles are 6" h x 3" dia. Rare to find his work in the states. Candles included From the estate of Hungarian immigrant Dr. Frank Hertelendy, a prominent former research OB/GYN doctor at St. Louis University hospital. There is now an annual award given to graduate students in his honor. Will be listing a rare chandelier also from this estate soon. János Lehoczky (1942-2003) was one of the most significant representatives of contemporary Hungarian blacksmithing. He was a self taught designer, metal object forger, blacksmith craftsman, and goldsmith, and later studied under renowned blacksmith Károly Bieber. János helped revive the fire forging art form in the 1960s by validating the material process and material beauty of primitive, modernist iron. His career began as a restorer, then in 1965- He started his own workshop by turning to the pure structure of modern, brutalist architectural forms and Romanesque iron works, in which he exploits the positive and negative forms of three-dimensional motifs. His reconstruction and restoration works related to monuments are truly significant, in which he emphasized the creative rethinking of themes instead of copying specific historical features. 1974: award for the interior gate of the Ferenczy Károly Museum; 1976: award for the three gates and bars of the Hilton Hotel; 1994: Noémi Ferenczy Award; 1995: Award for Hungarian Art. Since 1988, he had been a founding member of the Péter-Pál Képző- és Iparműveszeti Kotoközösség és Galéria (Association since 1991) in Szentendre. 1992-95: he mastered a "blacksmithing" course in his workshop for the students of the Hungarian Academy of Applied Arts. In the style of Paul Evans, Silas Seandel or Biancardi Jordan.
