‘Optimist Pessimist’ Brass Sculpture

The accomplished brass-worker and Modernist trailblazer Carl Aubck II designed his head-scratching ‘Optimist Pessimist’ in the 1950s at the family workshop in Vienna. Cast in the original brass mould and hand-finished to a textural black patina, the sculpture is still produced today by Carl’s descendants. Please note, as this piece is made and finished by hand, slight markings and imperfections may occur. These only add to its unique character.
