HELEN SCAVINI KONIG (1886-1974) / LENCI TORINO
Est: €800 - €1,200
A Lenci glazed and painted ceramic wall mask. 1937. Depicting a head of a girl. Stamp on the reverse 'Lenci/ Made in Italy/ Torino/ 2.37.' The hair is painted with a pattern of a cityscape at night of figures at tower buildings. Helen König was born in Turin on Feb. 28, 1886. Her mother was an intellectual and refined woman from Austria. Her father Francesco was a doctor of chemistry and natural sciences who came to Turin in 1885 for the position of head of the 'Reale Stazione Agraria'. From an early age, Helen was nicknamed Lencina or Lenci in the family. Her father died very young and her mother was left alone with four children. Helen travelled, first with her mother and then alone, to Switzerland, Austria, Hungary and Germany, taking on various jobs. In Düsseldorf, she attended the School of Arts and Crafts, where she graduated in photography in 1907. In 1915, she returned to Turin, where she married Enrico Scavini, with whom she founded the toy factory 'Ars Lenci' in 1919, regaining her childhood nickname. Among the numerous products, wooden toys, children's furniture, hats, scarves and shoes, the felt dolls and puppets stand out, which defined the company's success. Some artists of the time, such as Gigi Chessa and Marcello Dudovich, collaborated with Helen König on the dolls, which soon became famous in Italy and abroad. In 1926, König began producing flowers and wreaths in the famous fabric, which would become known as 'Lenci cloth'. In 1928 she began producing ceramics, some made by herself, others by Felice Tosalli, Cläre Burchart and again Gigi Chessa. In 1929 the magazine 'Casabella' devoted an article to the ceramics of 'Ars Lenci' in 1930 they were exhibited at the IV Triennale di Arti Decorative in Monza. The economic crisis of 1929 did not spare the company, which was also damaged by excessive production costs. In 1933, brothers Pilade and Flavio Garella became partners in "Ars Lenci" of which they took full responsibility by 1936. In 1937 Helen König was employed for five years in her former company as artistic director; in 1938 her husband Enrico died and from 1941 she stopped working as a ceramist. She died in Turin in 1974.

Cachet au revers 'Lenci/ Made in Italy/ Torino/ 2.37.' Cheveux peints d'une ville aux batîments et figures sous la lumière de lanternes. Beschrijving NL Jong meisjeshoofd met hoed, 1937. Muurapplique. Meerkleurig geglazuurd aardewerk. Stempel op verso 'Lenci/ Made in Italy/ Torino/ 2.37.' Haren beschilderd met een stadsgezicht bij nacht van figuren bij torengebouwen. Helen König werd geboren in Turijn op 28 februari 1886. Haar moeder was een beschaafde en verfijnde Oostenrijkse, haar vader Francesco, een doctor in de chemie en natuurwetenschappen, kwam in 1885 naar Turijn om de functie van hoofd van de Reale Stazione Agraria te bekleden. Van jongs af aan kreeg Helen in de familie de bijnaam Lencina of Lenci. Haar vader stierf zeer jong en haar moeder bleef alleen achter met vier kinderen. Helen reisde, eerst met haar moeder en daarna alleen, naar Zwitserland, Oostenrijk, Hongarije en Duitsland en nam daar verschillende banen aan. In Düsseldorf ging ze naar de Kunstnijverheidsschool, waar ze in 1907 afstudeerde in de fotografie. In 1915 keerde ze terug naar Turijn, waar ze trouwde met Enrico Scavini, met wie ze in 1919 de speelgoedfabriek 'Ars Lenci' oprichtte, waarmee ze haar bijnaam uit haar jeugd terugkreeg. Onder de talrijke producten, houten speelgoed, kindermeubelen, hoeden, sjaals en schoenen, vallen de vilten poppen en poppen op, die het succes van het bedrijf hebben bepaald. Sommige kunstenaars uit die tijd, zoals Gigi Chessa en Marcello Dudovich, werkten samen met Helen König aan de poppen, die al snel beroemd werden in Italië en daarbuiten. In 1926 begon König met de productie van bloemen en kransen in de beroemde stof, die bekend zou worden als 'Lenci doek'. In 1928 begon zij met de productie van keramiek, sommige door haarzelf gemaakt, andere door Felice Tosalli, Cläre Burchart en opnieuw Gigi Chessa. In 1929 wijdde het tijdschrift 'Casabella' een artikel aan de keramiek van 'Ars Lenci'; in 1930 werden ze tentoongesteld op de IV Triennale di Arti Decorative in Monza. De economische crisis van 1929 spaarde het bedrijf niet, dat ook schade opliep door te hoge productiekosten. In 1933 werden de broers Pilade en Flavio Garella partners in "Ars Lenci", dat zij in 1936 definitief overnamen. In 1937 was Helen König voor vijf jaar werkzaam in haar voormalige bedrijf als artistiek directeur; in 1938 overleed haar man Enrico en vanaf 1941 stopte zij met haar werk als keramiste. Ze stierf in Turijn in 1974. (Bron: https://www.museotorino.it/view/s/f6c9604e426548a9b9acd2cc69e95cdf)
