JORDAN MOZER (b. 1958); JORDAN MOZER STUDIOS, L.L.C. GooseGuss table mirror, Chicago, IL, ca. 2004; Cast and polished magnesium-aluminum alloy; Unmarked; 26" x 11 1/2" x 12 1/2"; Provenance: Collection of the artist; The GooseGuss tabletop mirror was created for the East Hotel in Hamburg Germany, a boutique hotel and restaurant which reimagined the ruins of an old iron foundry. Almost every architectural and design component was created using foundry imagery and techniques to evoke in guests the feeling of a Westerner in Asia for the first time. ÒCast metalÓ in German is ÒGuss MetalÓ. While working on the hotel Mozer lived in the old Goose Market. From this experience came the inspiration for the gooseneck form.
