Dear Moultonists,
Probably the only Austrian who owns more Moultons than myself sells
his collection. Among his jewels is the only titanium real Moulton
ever built. And many other more than rare bicycles.
He writes:
Like with every collector one of my fundamental needs is to be near
the object I collect. Until two years ago this was possible, as the
attic of my former office was my private museum. And so during the
last ten years I “visited” my bikes daily and selected one of them to
take a ride on. The attic was a part of the collection, which had been
started there and put together with this place in mind. Unfortunately,
I had to give up this attic space and during the past two years I was
unable to find an alternative.
Making the decision to separate myself from a unique collection that
had been built up with immense passion was a protracted and difficult
process. For many years I had hoarded, cared for, documented and
exhibited my “slender travel animals” (quote: Gabriele Petricek).
Looked at in visual terms bicycles for me are anarchical beings, a
kind of synonym for untrammelled freedom.
Therefore the idea of now setting them free again greatly appeals to me.
In case you are interested we would kindly ask you for your postal
adress in order to send to you the auction catalogue.
Yours, Michael Embacher
All bicycles with each opening price will be online from 22 April 2015
on dorotheum.com
Also: Wem es nach dem ein oder anderen guten Stück gelüstet, nichts wie ran an den Speck!
