25.01.2022 Whilst movement around Melbourne is restricted we visit (virtually) the Melbourne Hebrew Congregation in South Yarra to see another example of artist Karl Duldigs public work Western Wall, a stained glass window commissioned in 1969. Although modern in design, the Western Wall of the ancient Jewish temple in Jerusalem is nevertheless immediately recognisable. The window was commissioned in 1969 by Rabbi Rapaport to commemorate his parents and it was the first stained gla...ss window completed by the artist. Karls wife, Slawa Horowitz-Duldig, assisted him in the selection of vibrant high quality Antique (mouth-blown) glass and the window was constructed by Yencken Glass Industries.

23.01.2022 With Stage 4 restrictions in place around metropolitan Melbourne, we cannot freely explore Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. With a new exhibition of work by Karl Duldig in development we have been (virtually!) visiting Karl's public works of Art located at sites around Melbourne. Today we take you to the Wallenberg Gardens in Kew. Classified by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria), this Monument to Raoul Wallenberg was Karl Duldig's last commission. Unveiled by the S...wedish Ambassador in January 1985 this Monument to Raoul Wallenberg was the first erected in the world. The cairn of stones symbolises the destruction of European Jewry in the Holocaust. The bronze head of Wallenberg surmounts the base and commemorates the triumph of Wallenberg who saved many thousands of Jewish people in Budapest during the 2nd World War to herald a period of peace.

17.01.2022 As we prepare for a new exhibition of work by sculptor Karl Duldig, we reveal examples of Karls public work and commissions located at sites around Melbourne - today we head back to the City of Glen Eira council offices where Karl Duldigs ceramic bas relief The Family (1957) is situated. In this stylised composition, a small child holds a tree of life adjacent to an embracing couple. Originally commissioned in 1957 by Mr and Mrs Fred Winton for their home in Brighton, t...his work was conceived by the artist to symbolise the Winton family. The couple had one child, a daughter. The Winton home was purchased by the Sutton family, who removed the sculpture from the living room and in 1991, donated it to the City of Caulfield.

14.01.2022 " absolutely magnificent from many points of view; the delicacy of the casting which produces the finest detail absolutely perfectly; in concept, in what could have been grotesque, tortured and ugly, is full of the tragic beauty and redolent of hope, and magnificent in design. here, held for eternity in bronze is the story of Jewish survival; hope and faith in the abyss of terror." Journalist Pamela Ruskin wrote of this bronze bas-relief by Karl Duldig in The Australian Je...wish News on the 19 April, 1963. Commissioned in 1962, 'Carlton War Memorial' is located in the Melbourne General Cemetery and is part of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria collection.

12.01.2022 Winter is here! It's the perfect time to buy a limited edition EVA umbrella - stylish gift or a useful accessory to brighten the dull winter days and a celebration of the invention of the modern foldable umbrella! Shop now https://www.duldig.org.au/eva-umbrella/ Slawa Horowitz-Duldig invented the modern foldable umbrella in Vienna in 1929. It was manufactured in Austria and Germany and marketed throughout Europe. After the Duldig family fled Austria in 1938 Slawa was forced... to sell all her patent rights. In 2019 Slawas daughter, Eva de Jong-Duldig, designed this umbrella for the Duldig Studio.

12.01.2022 Celebrating Grand Final day. Karl Duldig (19021986) had a great love for sport. In the early 1920’s, as a young man in Vienna, he played international soccer as a goalkeeper with Brith Hakoah (Karl is pictured in the centre in his football jersey c.1918). After Karl, Slawa and Eva arrived in Australia in 1940 Karl also developed a great love for Australian Rules Football. In the second image Karl is pictured in his studio in East Malvern with his work ‘Dawn’, in 1967. This s...triking monument of remembrance, was commissioned by Brith Hakoah, and honoured sports men and women who had died in the Holocaust. It was installed under Karl’s supervision and unveiled in Tel Aviv, Israel in 1968. As an artist too, Karl would find inspiration in the interaction of the opposing teams, and their struggles for the ball on the field and in the air; as can be seen in the bronze sculpture ‘When the Big Men Fly’ (1958).

11.01.2022 Although we are closed to the public we are busy preparing for our new major exhibition planned to open on 5 May.

07.01.2022 JK Fasham Pty Ltd transporting Karl Duldigs 1969 sculpture Queen of the Bush from the Duldig Studio to the Perrin Sculpture Foundry for casting. Inspired by his love of the Australian landscape, Karl Duldig created the sculpture, among the trees and scrub on his own bushland property at Mt. Eliza. Made from cement fondu modelled over a wooden core, it engendered considerable interest when initially shown in 1969 as a part of the first one-man, outdoor exhibition by a scul...ptor in Victoria. Moved to outside the Hawthorn City Gallery (Town Hall Gallery) for the artists major retrospective in 1975, it remained there on public display until 1987. One of the largest, freestanding sculptures produced by the sculptor, he envisioned Queen of the Bush cast in bronze and placed in an open, public space somewhere. In 1988 the sculpture was moved to the Duldig Studio at which time a mould was taken, a first step towards the realization of that ambition. #alivinglegacy #duldigstudio #housemuseum #karlduldig #inspiringcreativejourneys #newexhibition #sculpture #modernism #survivalthroughart #bronzesculpture #creativepractice #sculpturetechniques #academyoffineartsvienna #bronzecast #bronzecasting #movingart #PGAVgalleries #VicGalleriesFromHome #mteliza

06.01.2022 Today is International Sculpture Day. We will be focusing on sculpture from our collection and exploring tools and techniques across our social media, website and e-news in the coming weeks so follow along or sign up to receive our e-news bulletins. Pictured here is Karl Duldigs Kore located in Central Park Gardens Malvern East, across the road from the Duldig Studio.... The kneeling female figure was a favourite subject of Karl Duldig throughout his career. Originally modelled in clay Koré (1976) was the first significant sculpture completed by Karl after the passing of his wife, Slawa, in August 1975. The first bronze cast was commissioned by the City of Caulfield in 1977 (stolen in 2013). Subsequently the City of Stonnington commissioned and installed this posthumous cast in the gardens of Central Park in 2016. We hold an extensive collection of sculptures in a variety of media including wood, terracotta, bronze and marble in our museum and we look forward to sharing more from our collection with you.

The 1962 Studio forms a key part of the exhibition; recently refurbished it is the only studio space used by the artist that remains intact.

05.01.2022 Karl Duldig (1902 - 1986) Public Works of Art - sites around Melbourne This unusual relief is nevertheless a hallmark of Karl Duldigs work; although part of the modernist tradition, Karls sculptures often took on a figurative form. The work consists of fragmented geometric, abstract and figurative forms in beaten, moulded and crumpled copper and suspended in relief from a steel grid. In 1970 the businessman Henry Krongold commissioned the work for his city office building.... The building was later sold to Melbourne City Council and the artwork was transferred with the land title.

03.01.2022 Duldig Studio museum + sculpture garden is hosting a public webinar to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the arrival of the Queen Mary in Australia. On the 25th of September, 1940, a converted troopship, formerly the luxury passenger liner, the Queen Mary, arrived in Sydney from Singapore carrying 266 people classified as enemy aliens by the British Government. Many of the families had fled Nazi persecution in Germany and Austria, and immediately after their arrival t...hey were transported to and interned in Tatura, Victoria. The stories of these refugees will now be told by survivors and their descendants in a once only online event. The event will be moderated by Dr Seumas Spark, Monash University and co-author of the acclaimed publication Dunera Lives: Profiles. This book lists 221 men, women and children sent to Australia on the Queen Mary as well as ten children who were born in internment.
