About the Item
An exceptional hanging picture frame comprising 2 glass plates with beveled edges floating within a solid, heavy-gauge brass frame, all with radiused corners. So striking that it nearly functions as wall art without the addition of an actual photograph. Unsurpassed quality with perfect patina. This is the first example of this particular design we’ve encountered. Italian, strongly attributed to Fontana Arte, 1950s. Available to view in our by-appointment showroom, please feel welcome to inquire with us.

Vladimir Kagan Architectural Louvered & Illuminated Room Divider with COA, 1967
By Vladimir Kagan
Located in Brooklyn, NY
An incredibly rare louvered and illuminated room divider in solid walnut floating over a cylindrical brass foot, custom-designed by Vladimir Kagan circa 1967. Six sculptural, marquise-shaped slats are angled at 45 degrees to the frame and flank the light box which houses a single 6-foot fluorescent bulb.
Authenticated by and registered with the Vladimir Kagan Design Group, this piece is offered to the collector with all corresponding documents including certificate of authenticity, company letter, related archival photos, and numbered registration plaque. While their archivists have seen similar slatted dividers that Kagan designed (see last image in this listing), they’d not seen one with an incorporated lighting element before and thus feel that this example may well be one-of-a-kind or, at the very least, from a strictly limited run.
That said, it seems that this general concept of combining lighting with room partitioning...
