Vintage CURTIS JERÉ Metal Wall Sculpture
SOLD
Fabricated out of undulating ribbons of multi-tone metals, this sculpture hangs neatly on a wall and adds postmodern aesthetic to the art collection. Founded in 1963 by Curtis Freiler (1910-2013) and Jerry Fels (1917-2007) under the nom de plume “Curtis Jeré”, the goal of this metalworking company was to provide gallery quality art to a mass audience. Sold and resold over the years, the company still produces sculptures and recently began reintroducing popular mid-century modern designs from past catalogs. This sculpture is signed and dated “C. Jeré 1992” en verso on the sculpture by the artists.

CURTIS JERÉ Tree Sculpture with Bird
Fabricated from brass, this sculpture by Curtis Jeré depicts a lithe tree with branching twigs and sparse leaf and floral detailing, a fanciful bird building a nest in the center of the delicate sapling. Resting on a painted black wooden base, this sculpture’s patinated brass construction provides a beautifully industrial contrast to the stylized organic subject matter this piece of art presents. Perfect for the beginning or seasoned art collector, this sizable sculpture is unsigned by the artists.
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.

LORENZO E. GHILIERI (1931-2020) Bronze Sculpture of Orcas Hunting
Circa 1977, this large bronze sculpture by American artist Lorenzo E. Ghilieri (1931-2020) depicts a pair of large orca whales bursting from the ocean in the midst of a hunt. This is a highly dramatic piece, heightened even further by the crashing waves Ghilieri has sculpted into the bronze. One of the most prolific sculptors of the American northwest, Ghilieri’s masterful attention to detail in this bronze is a testament to why his work has been held on permanent display at the White House and the Vatican. This is a large, magnificent piece of art that has patinated beautifully over the years and will feature prominently in any art collection.

SERGIO BUSTAMANTE (1947-) Ceramic Sculpture in Display Box “Egg #2” – Signed
Large ceramic sculpture by Mexican artist Sergio Bustamante (1947-) depicts a triad of penguins emerging from a large egg. A charming work full of whimsy and humor ever prevalent in Bustamante’s repertoire, this sculpture is housed in a display box with a mirrored bottom pane and displays Bustamante’s signature prevalently on the side of the sculpture. It appears the beak on the top penguin has been repaired from the previous owner.

KARIN KIRULIS (1950-) “Seated Woman” Bronze Sculpture
Cast in bronze, this sculpture by American contemporary artist Karin Kirulis (1950-) depicts a female figure seated in a misshapen chair; a piece of limp fabric is held in the woman’s hand, mirroring the frail and withered form of the subject. This piece showcases the natural beauty of its hand-formed clay original and, as a more substantially formed piece of art, departs from Kirulis’ usual method of direct bronze castings which tend to be more abstract in form. Mounted on a squared wooden base, this original sculpture is signed in the casting by the artist just along the bottom of the armchair.
