About the Artist:
C. Jeré is a compound nom de plume of
Jerry Fels and
Curtis Freiler, two brother-in-laws. They were metalworking artists who focused on home accessories and wall sculptures. The works of
C. Jeré were produced and marketed by
Artisan House, an art production for the average consumer that was founded by the duo in 1963.
Freiler was the chief of production and
Fels was the chief of design. They employed a great number of minorities and handicapped people and at one point employed 300 people. They sold the company in 1972. Early
C. Jeré works were produced in California, but continue to be made overseas since the company’s outsourcing in 2003.
Freiler passed away in 2008,
Fels in 2013 at 103 years old.
This sculpture is amongst hundreds of pieces of art that are available at our location in Columbus, Ohio! Come in today and see the full collection.
