The present prototype “Lockheed Lounge” is the only example with “white” exposed fiberglass-reinforced polyester resin feet. All other examples have rubber-coated black feet. All examples of the “Lockheed Lounge” were built at Basecraft, a small Sydney workshop where Newson developed his “LC1” chaise longue in 1985-1986. That chair was first exhibited at Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery in Sydney, June 1986, and is now in the permanent collection of the Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide. Although a markedly different chair, Newson’s “LC1” led to the present form, the “Lockheed Lounge,” of which fifteen exist: the prototype (the present lot), four artist’s proofs, and a further edition of ten. Newson began producing “Lockheed Lounges” in 1988. In the order of their acquisition, examples of the “Lockheed Lounge” are in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Powerhouse Museum, Sydney; Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein; and Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh. Phillips de Pury & Company would like to thank Marc Newson and Didier Krzentowski for their assistance in cataloging this lot. With regard to date, description, manufacture, material, and catalogue raisonné number, this entry supersedes all previous publications of this particular “Lockheed Lounge.” At Sydney College of the Arts, Newson studied sculpture, jewelry, and furniture design. In 1984 he graduated with the outlines of a plan: technical materials, futurism, fluidity—and with inexperience, the burden of every graduate. The following year he conceived his “LC1” chaise longue (a precursor to the “Lockheed Lounge”), which he exhibited at the Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery in Sydney in June 1986. Unsatisfied with the scrolling backrest of that first chair, he refined its lines and arrived at the present form. Newson shaped “Lockheed Lounge” from foam, as one would a surfboard “blank,” with a wire brush and a Stanley Surform plane. His intention had been to cover its fiberglass core with a single sheet of aluminum: “I tried laminating it, but the thing fell apart…Eventually, I came up with the idea of beating little pieces of metal into shape with a wooden mallet, and attach
