Dudley Vaill Talcott
Ashtray with Woman on Base

circa 1965

About the Item

Dudley Vaill Talcott, American (1899-1986), circa 1965. With signature stamp underside: "DVT". From the estate of the artist. In fine condition. Exhibited: Aetna Life Insurance Galleries, Hartford, CT, 1985. In his later works, such as this ashtray, the sculptor’s form-follows-function gate, towering fountains, and architectural plaques seamlessly blended the organic curves of Art Nouveau with the highly stylized symmetry of Art Deco and the Bauhaus. Further modernizing the concept, Talcott was an early adapter of the latest industrial building materials, such as aluminum, hydrocal plaster, fiberglass and resin.
