Joseph Effner (Dachau 1687-1745 Munich) Table Carved, painted and gilded poplar Germany, circa 1720-1725 H 74 x W 53 x D 74 cm Provenance: private collection, New York, USA Joseph whose spelling was originally Öffnercomes from an old family of gardeners. He was the ninth of ten children of Christian Öffner, master court gardener since 1668. He entered the graces of Prince Elector Maximilian II Emmanuel of Bavaria, who brought him as a gardener with him in April 1706, in Brussels; and he later sent him to Paris where he discovered his interest in architecture. In 1708 Joseph Effner entered the workshop of the great French architect Germain Boffrand where he learned French style and received training as a builder. He later entered as a private student in the prestigious Académie royale d’architecture. From that moment he changed his surname into Effner. On 1 April 1715, after his return from France, he was appointed architect of the Bavarian court, responsible for all the buildings of the elector prince, together with Enrico Zuccalli. Joseph Effner was a importer from France of innovative ideas in architecture and rococo style. In 1717 Massimiliano II Emanuele sent him to Italy for a ten-week trip between Venice, Rome and Naples. In 1720 he was appointed Superintendent and in 1724, with the death of Zuccalli, he obtained even more powers. However, in 1726, with the ascent to the throne of Charles VII of Bavaria, Joseph Effner had to give way to his pupil François de Cuvilliés the Elder, working only in the administration. He died in Munich in 1745 and his stone tomb is in the Frauenkirche choir. The Effnerplatz in Munich and the Josef-Effner-Gymnasium in Dachau are dedicated to him. The cabinet, from the center follows that type of lacquered furniture made in Europe in the eighteenth century. In red lacquer it is garnished in the parts carved with gold leaf following the technique of the mission. The legs are elegant and sinuous and end with an elegant curl on the feet and a volute in gold in the central part that 'divides' the leg. The crosspieces end with a rosette in the center with plant styles carved in the central and side, also gilded. The elegant cabinet is part of that production of furniture made in southern Germany and in particular in Bavaria, where lacquered furniture was a compendium of fashionable furniture within the noble society. A similar example of this fashion is the Pagadenbour at the castle of Nynphenbourg, Bavaria. The central hall, which is decorated with fresh Chinese porcelain, is furnished with ivory lacquer furniture with sculptures painted in Prussian blue. The entire pagoda, including the furnishings, was designed by the architect Joseph Effner, who also took care of designing the furniture. The central table follows the same model and line as this cabinet so as to be attributable to the Effner’s hand; the similarity is such that even the shop in which it was executed is the same as the pagodenbourg itself, with the difference that the cabinet in question has a decoration embellished by the highlights in gold.

Eva Vlčková (Czech Republic, 1966) Empty Case, 2020 Glass H 26.5 x W 39 x D 10 cm Unique piece Eva Vlčková’s sculptural expression is drawn from the unique properties of molten glass, transcending the simple adoration of bright colour, transparency or exaggerated fragility. In her work superimposed planes suggest the richness of colour, the impenetrability and translucidity of glass. The minimalist dream form of the apertures and curves invoke a sense of mystery which draws the viewer in.
