Rudolf Wolf

Amsterdam 1919 – 1989
Industrial designer, artist

Very nice and very early abstract modern painting on canvas, painted by Rudolf Wolf in 1952. Rudolf Wolf (1919-1989) did graphic school, and technical building school, after that he became an industrial designer, he worked a lot with Wim Rietveld and Friso Kramer during the 1950s and 1960s. Some famous chairs he designed for Elsrijk in the end of the 1950s, but the price winning Gamma Chair for van Gaasbeek & Tiel is probably his most famous design item. Rudolf Wolf called himself an architect, industrial designer and constructivist. After his industrial period he started as a free lance designer and from 1970 an artist. He made a lot of huge sculptures and paintings for big companies, schools and government buildings. Mostly in RVS, lucite, glass and aluminum, that’s often to see in his paintings, same colors and shapes were used.

This is one of some scarce artworks he made, we acquired a large collection of his work directly from the widow of Rudolf Wolf, some works have been in their personal collection and was never offered for sale before! Very nice silver abstract modern painting on canvas with white lacquered (new) wooden frame. This is a very nice and early work from the 1950s when he was still an experimental artist. But this is a very good and strong work before he even started designing furniture. The work has minimal wear due to age and usage.

All his works are sold with certificate of origin as not all of the works are signed. We also have a large photo archive where some works are on, or parts of it, or similar works.
