vintage wall art

Living with someone that has different aesthetics to you can be frustrating for both parties involved. As a vintage dealer, I often have to pass on treasures that I would prefer to keep. Typically vintage furniture and wall art are the topic of such discussions.  

1984 Burwood Plastic birds USA

These captive bluebirds are not allowed to fly on our walls. Maybe, one day they will be free.

mid century kitsch tiki plastic panther relief

This kitsch panther adorned our wall for a few months before it had to find another home.  

mid century copper abstract relief

I found this mid century copper relief yesterday but promised I would sell it on! I guess the positive aspect is that my walls are an ever changing canvas.

Mid-Century Copper Art

 Currently, I have this vintage, mid-century hammered copper wall art, for sale. 

The stylised ram, sculptural piece measures 91.5 x 56 cm. It is a quality heavy piece, signed 'Glover'. 

It does have patina, light verdigris due to its age. On close inspection it reflects many colours of the spectrum.

1970s Copper Wall Art

I do admire the boldness and brutality of the hammered technique and design. The stylised ram is reminiscent of neolithic art.

 The earthenware beaker below is from the neolithic period c 5000 - 4000 B.C.E.

Whilst learning about neolithic art in art history classes. I was blown away with the richness of their intellectual and artistic pursuits within the neolithic cultural heritage.

 Collectors of this copper art style are attracted to the works of Curtis Jeré. The name is a compound nom-de-plume of artists Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels. The two founders combined pieces of their own names to create the C. Jeré signature. An example below is a 1977 piece titled Firmament.
