MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Michael Tatom Signed Limited Edition Bronze Stylized Leopard Sculpture
Michael Tatom Signed Limited Edition Bronze Stylized Leopard Sculpture

Michael Tatom Signed Limited Edition Bronze Stylized Leopard Sculpture

By François Pompon

Located in St. Louis, MO

An elegant and highly tactile contemporary bronze sculpture of a big cat (leopard/jaguar) by acclaimed Santa Fe artist and sculptor Michael Tatom. This piece showcases Tatom’s signature style: stripping away unnecessary detail to celebrate the animal's fluid grace, muscular arch, and elegant contours. The bronze is finished in a specialized, multi-toned spotted patina that brilliantly captures the organic rosettes of a wild feline body. This is a rare, small-scale masterwork that is rich with documentation. The sculpture is incised with the artist's signature on its tail. The underside of the paws feature complete markings, including the limited edition number 197/250 on one foot, and the initials SF NM on another, certifying its origin and casting in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Measuring a refined 3.19 inches in width, this desktop bronze has a wonderful, heavy hand-feel and serves as a sophisticated addition to any collection of contemporary Western art or wildlife sculpture. The sculpture is in pristine gallery condition, completely free of scratches, surface loss, or alterations to its original hand-applied patina. From the Estate of Joan Conway Crancer, daughter of the famous St. Louis painter Fred Conway, and was a passionate art collector, included in her collection were Calder Sculptures, Max Beckman paintings and Roman antiquities. She was actively involved with the Saint Louis Art Museum, where she served for many years as Museum Trustee and member of the Acquisition Committee, and remained Honorary Trustee for the rest of her life. Together with her husband, they endowed a gallery at the museum, named for Alice and Fred Conway, her parents.

1990s Campbell Soup Square Glass Tray Designed by Andy Warhol for Rosenthal

By Rosenthal, Andy Warhol

Located in Aci Castello, IT

The glass tray designed by Andy Warhol for Rosenthal is a decorative tray that features Warhol's iconic Campbell Soup can designs. This tray was created in the 1990s by Rosenthal, a German porcelain and glassware manufacturer, as part of a limited edition series of home decor items featuring Warhol's artwork. It's in perfect condition, probably never used, and signed by Andy Warhol on the front and labeled by Rosenthal on the bottom. The tray is made of clear glass and has a square shape with rounded corners, making it a compact but eye-catching piece of decor. The tray's surface features a continuous, colorful reproduction of one of Warhol's Campbell Soup can designs, which were first created in the 1960s as part of his exploration of consumer culture and advertising. The tray's design is simple but bold, and its use of vibrant colors and familiar imagery make it a great conversation starter and a fun addition to any room. As a limited edition item designed by a well-known artist, the tray may have some collectible value among fans of Warhol's work or collectors of vintage glassware...
