VICTORIAN METAL-MOUNTED BLACK
VICTORIAN METAL-MOUNTED BLACK PAINTED COFFIN WITH PAPIER MACHé 'ODD FELLOW'12 1/2 in. x 5 ft. 9 1/2 in. x 21 in.
Note: The Odd Fellows Fraternity was an organization that originated in England as early as 1730, and counts George IV, Winston Churchill and Stanley Baldwin among its ranks. It was formed as a charitable staple in America through most of the 19th and 20th centuries. The purpose was to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphans. The fraternity spread to America when the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) was founded in New York City in 1806. Industrialism after the Civil War brought with it the "Golden Age of Fraternalism" when as many as 40% of the adult population in America belonged to a fraternal order. The Great Depression and other contributing factors put an end to that. Years of declining membership saw many Odd Fellows chapters across the country closing their doors. That's when discoveries of skeletons in closets, attics and beneath floorboard of defunct lodges. A few questions arise, were these the remains of members who didn't pay their dues, where the Odd Fellows robbing graves or was it a ritual human sacrifice? The Odd Fellows, like many fraternal organizations, are shrouded in secrecy and steeped in esoteric symbolism, so we may never know. Members pledged to "forever conceal never reveal".
Initiation into the Odd Fellows, the "poor man's Masonry", involved a ceremony in which the pledge would come face to face with a skeleton in a candle lit room to contemplate their mortality. Modern ceremonies use paper maché skeletons, but in the early days they used real human remains. As lodges closed throughout much of the 20th century, these skeletons were often abandoned and forgotten in the buildings where they had served in induction rites for decades. The result is a bizarre and ongoing phenomenon of unsuspecting (and sometimes horrified) people unearthing human skeletons from dark crannies of old buildings around the country.

The unusual creations were spearheaded by Oldenburg, and in collaboration with his second wife, Coosje van Bruggen, often by his side throughout production. Two favorite pieces I recall are the Shuttlecocks by Mr. and Mrs. Oldenburg. The other favorite is Spoonbridge and Cherry in Minnesota, U.S.A. The present work, "...Geometric Mouse, Scale D is die-cut and equipped with stainless steel wire hinges and bead chains. It is imprinted with reproductions of the artist's notations...published in unlimited edition." A 2/3 reduction and reproduction of a prototype for Geometric Mouse, Scale C.
Condition:
There is a two-inch horizontal tear in the shrink wrap at the bottom/center with associated discoloration and staining on the paper where it was exposed. There are also scattered fox marks on the paper, discoloration at edges, and corrosion on the chains and hinges. Simpson Galleries strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
