DETAILS: • Weight: 128 grams • Dimensions: Ca. 70 x 55 x 25 mm • Find Date: 27th of December 2018 • Find spot: 47° 8.193’ N / 7°8.320’ E • Treatment: The Specimen’s surface has been desalinated and coated with micro layer of paraffin (reversable) • Official name: TW 1253 About the Swiss Twannberg Meteorite: • Fall occurred about 150'000 years ago or earlIer • To date (end of 2021) 2020 individual fragments have been found • Total weight 150 kilograms • Rare Hexahedrite / Octahedrite IIG iron • Worldwide there are only six meteorites classified as Hexaedrite IIG iron, out of which the Twannberg is the only European fall. • Very low nickel content of 4.5 % • High content of phosphorus within crystalline Schreibersite (Iron phosphide) • The Twannberg meteorite is by far the biggest of the eleven Swiss meteorites known to date • The strewn field is one of the largest in Europe and probably the best documented fall in the world Worldwide shipping is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. I am a member of the Citizen-Science-Project organized by Professor Doctor Beda Hofmann, head of Earth Sciences department, of the Natural History Museum of Berne, Switzerland, researching the strewn field of the Twannberg meteorite on the Plateau de Diesse in Switzerland. Every found meteorite is analyzed for its metallurgical composition, measured and inspected for inclusions in the oxidation crust, flow lines and other surface properties. The meteorite is given its unique number beginning with TW for ‘Twannberg’ and then returned in accordance with the agreement between the Cantone of Berne and the finder – Meaning all finds are shared, depending on weight and rarity. We search in all seasons a large area in the Bernese Jura up to about 1500 meters above sea with sophisticated metal detectors – sometimes in lovely pasture, other times we negotiate very steep, forested slopes taking considerable risks. Unfortunately, we get a huge number of false signals and dig up a considerable number of discarded and lost metal objects, such as horse and cow shoes, nails, bits of fencing, artillery fragments and bullets, rubbish, etc. To find one meteorite a searcher has to dig hundreds of false signals often in arduous conditions. Hence, we have only found 2000 individual specimens since 1984. Many finders hold on to their allocated meteorites, so few of those rare good quality specimens actually reach the open market. I am happy to pass on my larger meteorites, whilst I hold on to the small, gem quality Twannberg meteorites, which I plan to use for my new, upcoming jewelry collection. Not all specimens found are of the same quality. Being iron they are often heavily oxidized, become instable and start to crumble. However, a small percentage of meteorites fell into an area, where the acidic soil layer is very thin and sunk down on the more stable, alkaline lime gravel layer which makes up the Jura hills – virtually a more or less neutral zone. So, I would estimate about 10% of all meteorites are found, still retaining parts of their dark, outer crust after all those years. If it happens, that the spot is located high enough, i.e. out of reach of the glaciers which covered the area at least twice since the fall and mulled everything over in their path, the meteorite would wait unharmed patiently for over 150’000 years for someone to find it. If then, the meteorite is above average weight and it displays an attractive sculptured shape, we are talking about the absolute rarest possible type of Twannberg Meteorite, of which there were only a few hand full found. I am selling here a well sized, superbly sculptured, Twannberg meteorite specimen...

IBRAM LASSAW (Russian-American, 1913-2003), Sculptural pendant Gold plated bronze Signed verso Measurements: 2-7/8''h, 2-1/4''w. Ibram Lassaw was born in Alexandria, Egypt, of Russian Jewish émigré parents. After briefly living in Marseille, France, Naples, Italy Tunis, Malta, and Constantinople, Turkey his family settled in Brooklyn, New York, in 1921.His family settled in Brooklyn, New York. He became a US citizen in 1928. Ibram Lassaw, one of America's first abstract sculptors, was best known for his open-space welded sculptures of bronze, silver, copper and steel. Drawing from Surrealism, Constructivism, and Cubism, Lassaw pioneered an innovative welding technique that allowed him to create dynamic, intricate, and expressive works in three dimensions. As a result, he was a key force in shaping New York School sculpture.He first studied sculpture in 1926 at the Clay Club and later at the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design in New York. He made abstract paintings and drawings influenced by Kandinsky, Sophie Taeuber Arp, and other artists. He also attended the City College of New York. Lassaw’s encounter with avant-garde art in the International Exhibition of Modern Art (1926), organized by the Société Anonyme at the Brooklyn Museum, made a powerful impression on him. In the early 1930s he explored new materials and notions of open-space sculpture. The ideas of László Moholy-Nagy and Buckminster Fuller were important to him, and he knew the work of Julio González, Pablo Picasso, and the Russian Constructivists. After experimenting with plaster, rubber and wire, Lassaw began working with steel, which became a frequent medium for the artist, along with other metals. His work reflects the influence of Surrealist artists such as Alberto Giacometti and Joan Miro as well as American Modernist Alexander Calder.A pioneer of abstract sculpture in the United States, in 1936 Lassaw was a founding member of the organization American Abstract Artists. Between 1933 and 1942 he worked for various federal arts projects: the Public Works of Art Project, Civil Works Authority, and WPA, the Works Progress Administration Federal Art Project. In 1938 he produced his first welded work. He served with the U.S. Army, where he learned direct welding techniques. During the 1940s he experimented with cage constructions and with acrylic plastics, adding color to his sculptures by applying dye directly to their surfaces. In 1949 Lassaw was a founder of the Club, an informal discussion group of avant-garde artists that had developed from gatherings at his studio, on Eighth Street. During the mid-1930s, Lassaw worked briefly for the Public Works of Art Project cleaning sculptural monuments around New York City. He subsequently joined the WPA as a teacher and sculptor until he was drafted into the army in 1942. Lassaw's contribution to the advancement of sculptural abstraction went beyond mere formal innovation; his promotion of modernist styles during the 1930s did much to insure the growth of abstract art in the United States. He was one of the founding members of the American Abstract Artists group, and served as president of the American Abstract Artists organization from 1946 to 1949. In 1951, Samuel Kootz invited Lassaw to join his gallery in New York. He also had a summer gallery in Provincetown, MA. Lassaw had been summering in Provincetown since 1944, and in 1951 rented an apartment next door to the Kootz Gallery. Among the artists in the Kootz Gallery were Jean Arp, William Baziotes, Georges Braque, Jean Dubuffet, Herbert Ferber, Arshile Gorky, Adolph Gottlieb, David Hare, Hans Hofmann, Fernand Leger, Georges Mathieu, Joan Miró, Robert Motherwell, Pablo Picasso, Pierre Soulages, and Maurice de Vlaminck. Lassaw is a sculptor who was a part of the New York School of Abstract expressionism during the 1940s and 1950s. Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, James Brooks, Willem de Kooning, and several other artists like Lassaw spent summers on the Southern Shore of Long Island. Lassaw spent summers on Long Island from 1955 until he moved there permanently in 1963.
