Philippe Hiquily
Philippe Hiquily was a French artist who left a lasting impact on the world of sculpture and furniture design. Born in Paris in 1925, Hiquily was a participant in the post-World War II New Age of Steel movement, which focused on the decorative industrial objects of the modern world. He was known for his innovative use of materials, particularly steel and stainless steel, which he used to create sculptures that explored the relationship between art and industry. Hiquily's works were characterized by their sleek, minimalist designs and their emphasis on form and function. He was particularly interested in the tension between art and technology, and his sculptures often incorporated elements of both. In addition to his sculptures, Hiquily also designed furniture, including chairs, tables, and lamps, which were equally innovative and forward-thinking. Throughout his career, Hiquily's works were exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Some of his most famous works include the stainless steel ribbed chair, the hanging helmets sculpture, and the magic cloud sculpture. Despite his success and acclaim, Hiquily remained humble and dedicated to his craft throughout his life. He passed away in 2016, but his legacy lives on through his works, which continue to inspire and influence modern artists and designers.
