Monumental Planter in the Style of Evelyn and Jerome Ackerman
About the Item
Circa 1965. 18" cubed. This planter was obtained from a bank in WV that also featured doors by David Gillespie of Forms and Surfaces - the company that was previously known as panelcarve that produced the works of the Ackermans for ERA industries. The estate of the Ackermans were contacted and they could not find such a planter in their catalog - although they did produce planters. The material is probably Oak with a dark finish. We speculate either it was a one-off or produced by a local craftsman for the bank. The sides are 1 and 3/16" thick solid wood planks. The planter has marks and minor damage but is fully useable in it's current condition. All 4 panels look the same but are not, with each one individually crafted with multiple passes of a routing machine and carving combined and is very complex. Organic and abstract and a remarkable example of Mid-Century craftsmanship. You can see one corner where a knot of the wood has popped off. 4 feet elevate the planter above the ground. Shown to scale with an Eames side chair to give context as to size. Ideal as a foyer or exterior showpiece but would not be suitable to outside unless covered or protected from weather.
