Parker and Peretti

Well, I can't recall the last time I took a Saturday off when we weren't travelling, but I am doing just that today.  We are leaving the shop in Marilyn's more than capable hands, and the day will be spent by the pool with Parker in our temporary digs with the latest issue of Vanity Fair.  I just finished the article on Elsa Peretti.  What an amazing and beautiful woman.  She is such an extraordinary artist, style maker, and human.  I was very lucky to have met her and gotten to know her a little during my days in the Estate Dept. at Tiffany & Co.  She is the coolest.

"Curtis Jere"; Maple Leaves Sculpture

The Curtis Jere design house was founded in California in 1963 and produced sculptural works ranging from the representational to the highly abstract.  Works produced by the company, particularly those of the 1960's and 70's, have become highly praised and sought after today.  Writer Mitchell Owens wrote a two page article on the history of C. Jere for the November 2010 issue of Elle Decor.  In it he remarks that "Today those pieces are attracting the admiration of leading dealers in vintage chic".  He goes on to note that after launching in 1963, Jere sculptures were distributed by Raymor, a cutting edge studio in New York City, and retailed at Gump's in San Francisco and other high end retailers in several major cities across the U.S.  This large and very decorative patinated brass sculpture by C. Jere was made in the seventies and features clusters of animated maple leaves emanating from three substantial branches.  46" l., 34" w.  American, c. 1970's  SOLD

"John Van Koert for Drexel" Tall Chest

"Bijan" Brutalist Metal Sculpture

Bijan was born in Iran in 1936 and immigrated to the U.S. in 1959.  In 1962 he moved to L.A. where he attended the Art Center School of Design.  That same year he opened his own art studio.  Bijan's metal sculptures were seen worldwide in the sixties and seventies, and at the time he was referred to as the "Father of Metal Sculpture".  This is an exceptional signed wall sculpture from that period in the Brutalist style.  36" l., 16" h., 4" d.  American, c. 1970's  SOLD

Winding Down

As we wind down in the shop over the next two and a half weeks and Parker winds down in our temporary home in the country, we will still be bringing in new pieces.  We probably won't have a chance to photograph everything and update the site, so stop in to see what's new.  We will be updating the blog regularly though with some pretty significant markdowns.
