Ed Wiener 1948 New York Aerodynamic Constructivist Sculptural Cuff in 925 Silver
About the Item
An exceptional cuff designed by Ed Wiener (1918-1991).
This very rare modernist sculptural piece is one of Wiener's first creations as a jeweler-artist, in New York city, circa 1948. This cuff bracelet is composed of two simple aerodynamic pieces with sinuous curved shapes wrapped by an infinite wire, which in turn recreates a sculpture with constructivism patterns.
It was crafted in solid .925/.999 of polished and patinated sterling silver.
Ed Wiener (1918-1991), began his career in the artist's circles of the post-Bauhaus. Was very active at Provincetown and the Greenwich village in New York. Work immediately in the early days of the abstract expressionist movement of the post-war period, late 1940's. His most famous customers was the sculptor Louise Nevelson and Martha Graham, the dancer. He worked extensively in sterling silver until the beginning of the 1950 when he made a lot of sculptural pieces of jewelry in gold with precious gemstones.
Has a weight of 112.7 grams and fit a wrist/arm up to 6 inches (15.5 Cm). The overall measures are 127 mm by 76.5 mm (5 x 3 inches).
