French Artist Alain Lerolle Brutalist Silvered Metal Pendant Necklace

About the Item

This stunning French artist Alain Lerolle choker necklace features a brutalist and modernist unstructured shape with a dangling dimensional carved pendant in silvered metal. The piece is signed on the underside with the engraved Lerolle marking. The necklace is in fantastic condition and shows no significant signs of wear and tear. Measurements: The necklace's total length is 22.44 in (57 cm) - The drop is 12.63 in long (32 cm) - The pendant is 2.13 in wide (5.4 cm) x 1.63 in high (4.1 cm). Note: Alain Lerolle (1947 - 2012) Born in 1947, Alain Lerolle opened his first gallery in Tréguier (Côtes d'Armor - France) in the 1970s. ​Creator of contemporary jewelry, he has expertise in using and mastering titanium and is considered a pioneer in this field. He is particularly interested in creating graphic and abstract compositions using brooches or pendants. He worked with glass for many years, creating totems and exhibiting his works worldwide. During the early 1990s, he returned to painting, creating geometric abstractions and mixed media artworks that resemble his jewelry designs with architectural elements. In addition to his primary pursuits, he appreciates exploring his creativity by crafting beautiful and intricate decorative objects. Among his diverse creations are meticulously crafted boxes and delicate porcelain pieces. His works are regularly present in the sales of major auction houses (Tajan, Pierre Bergé, Aguttes...). Alain Lerolle died in 2012. (Credit: Lerolle Website)
