We are delighted to present this superb abstract/figurative sculpture by American metalsmith Curtis Jere´. The piece depicts an Eagle in full flight and consists of multiple round steel rods hand welded together. The choice of materials and this unique approach to construction create a powerful and expressive abstraction of a living creature. It is mounted on a solid block of marble and signed C Jere´ 1977.

Interestingly Curtis Jere´ was not a single person but the work of two artists Jerry Fels and Curtis Freiler. Through the 1960s to the late 1970s, ‘Curtis Jere’ created hand-made metal wall and free standing sculptures both in naturalistic and hard edged abstract themes.

Original pieces created within this time period are increasingly sought after by collectors and prices continue to increase.

This sculpture by German/Canadian architect Dirk Zander was created in 1968. Within this air tight acrylic cube is an additional series of compartments each filled with a different colour and volume of fluorescent liquid. The whole interior of the cube has also been 3/4 filled with a clear mineral oil. The sculpture possesses a striking three dimensional effect and changes appearance depending on which side it is set on as the levels of liquid also change altering it´s appearance. This sculpture must truly be a homage to the wonders of inner space………
