About the Item
Fantastic old industrial style photo-studio floor lamps by unknown maker, Germany.
These are made around 1955-1965 from metal incl. reflector, and come with clearly custom made, adjustable and
hand woven flax or linen screens.
The bases show a blue hammered metal finish.
Absolutely rare items – with of course a story to tell: they feature the autographs of artist Joseph Beuys (1921 – 1986).
How it came to this, the heir of these lamps told me when they came into my collection:
His great-uncle (i.e., his maternal grandfather's brother) Anton Kleuden was a photographer and during the 1970s
did live in Düsseldorf, where he happened to work or assist for around 2 years Joseph Beuys.
Long story short, when the job was finished, as a Thank You, Joseph Beuys signed Anton Kleudens work lamps.
Anton Kleuden later became a passionate collector of art and curiosities. Part of which these lamps used to be.
For insurance purposes, both lamps have been marked with ID numbers (milled in, see imagery).
The heir of these lamps supplied his statement, that these lamps come indeed from his family collection.
Absolute rarity.
Can be turned up, down and sideways.
Sockets: standard screw fitting E27
Wiring compatible worldwide, also in the US, 110-240v.
