Robber Baron by Studio Job, tales of power, corruption, art and industry, cast in bronze
Robber Baron was conceived as an imagined suite of important furnishings commissioned by a Robber Baron. Consisting of five ornate cast-bronze functional pieces, including the Cabinet, Mantel Clock, Table, Standing lamp, and Jewel Safe, each is offered in a limited edition of five.
Magnificent in scale, exceptionally finely modeled, detailed and cast, with precision mechanical movements where required, incorporating deeply carved iconographic relief, with areas highly polished, gilded, or patinated, these works are guild-like in their master craftsmanship, each having taken approximately one year to complete. Their mirror finish reflecting the outrageous excesses of America's 19th century tycoons and today's new global oligarchs, these surreal furnishings, each a complex composition of multiple visual elements depicting a narrative - much like a cathedral's stained glass windows or its majestic bronze front doors - represent an interior belonging to a powerful industrial leader or their heirs. With clouds of pollution belching from towering smoke stacks, missiles and falcons and gas masks, warplanes and wrenches adorning golden surfaces, Robber Baron celebrates and shames both Art and Industry.
