"Leaves and Ferns", Exceptional Mid Century Enameled Bowl in Copper, Bronze Hues

About the Item

One of the largest and most striking works ever created by Annemarie Davidson, one of America's greatest enamel artists working in the 1950s and 60s, this low bowl depicts an overlay of leaves and ferns in a rich array of coppery, bronze and ruddy orange hues. The overall effect is remarkable, and the colors positively shimmer in the light. Davidson was born in Germany but moved to New York as a 16 year old girl, later meeting and marrying a chemist/molecular biologist. They moved to California, and after studying with Doris Hall and Curtis Tann, Davidson established her reputation as a skilled and vibrant enamelist. This is the finest enamel bowl by Davidson that we have seen. It is signed on the bottom, and the piece retains its original label.
