Circle Lamp
2007
A glowing circle rendered in luan and paper, this 2007 work by Alice Könitz occupies a quiet but compelling space between sculpture, design, and drawing. Könitz has long been drawn to the poetics of everyday materials and the way modest, often overlooked objects carry latent formal energy. Here, the circular form reads simultaneously as lamp, diagram, and symbol, its geometric clarity complicated by the warmth and slight irregularity of handworked materials. The result is a piece that feels both resolved and open, inviting sustained looking without demanding a fixed interpretation. Könitz, who has exhibited widely across Europe and the United States, consistently works at a scale that suits domestic and intimate institutional settings alike. At 74 by 74 centimetres, Circle Lamp holds its own on a wall without overwhelming a space, and its warm material presence makes it unusually adaptable to a range of interiors. The work is signed by the artist, and its condition is consistent with careful handling over the years since its making. This work is offered through the Saatchi Collection Benefit Auction and will ship from Slough, UK, with logistics coordinated through a dedicated shipping partner. Buyers are encouraged to arrange collection within one month of the sale closing, as storage fees apply beyond that period. Shipping, storage, and any applicable taxes are the responsibility of the buyer, with sales tax applied to shipments within the United States according to standard auction terms.
