Rosemarie Benedict
Rosemarie Benedikt (* 1939 in Baden near Vienna ) is an Austrian ceramic and glass artist.
Life
Benedikt began her training at the Vienna Fashion School Hetzendorf with the subject of textile design. After five years of training from 1954 to 1959, she was selected from several applicants to work for the Rörstrand porcelain factory in Lidköping . Here she came into contact for the first time with this material, which became decisive for her further artistic path. Until 1964 she worked as a designer for the manufactory in Sweden. After her return to Vienna, she was appointed as a lecturer at the University of Applied Arts , where she taught as an assistant professor from 1975 to 2000. She has been running her own studio in Vienna since the mid-1970s. In 1987 and 1988, she took courses at the Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle . From 1993 she worked as a designer for Villeroy & Boch . Beginning in 2006, she created not only her original porcelain figures, but also partly monumental sculptures made of glass. In 2005 her work was awarded the Austrian Culture Prize.
Numerous works can be found in museums and private collections in Germany and abroad.
to travel
From 1993 Rosemarie Benedikt completed numerous study trips. In 1993 she lived temporarily as artist in residence in Fujino, Japan and traveled to Taiwan . In 1997 and 2000 she was in Mexico and in 2004 on the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of porcelain in China. Since 2006 she has been spending time on Murano and working on her glass worlds at the renowned glass manufacturer Berengo Fine Arts.
