Paul Oudet, is a Postwar & Contemporary French artist and sculptor. He created rare jewelry and objects for the Galerie Grotte of Claude de Muzac in Paris, circa 1970. After having brilliantly passed the Applied Arts and the Fine Arts, Paul Oudet at 25 is a young professor at the Fine Arts, architecture section. But perhaps because he is the son of a naval officer, or because he grew up facing the Louvre Museum, where he spent long hours in the countless galleries, he sets off to discover the distant lands of Asia and Central America. He returned to France at the end of the sixties. He works and uses his know-how and his long observations to develop a singular work around marine architecture and plant structures. Albert Loeb discovered him and presented his work in Paris from 1972. Throughout this decade and the next he continued his collaboration with his gallery owner and multiplied his experiences. He participates in the adventure of the gallery of the Carita sisters, rue Saint Honoré. He is also exhibited at the Jean-Pierre Hagenauer gallery, at Artcurial and his creations are also sold at Henri Bendel in New York. Then, it is the eye of the Princess de Broglie, Claude de Muzac, who captures the grace of her objects and shows them in her turn in her gallery, an institution of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. It will then be Naïla de Montbrison. (La Galerie Parisienne...

YAACOV AGAM 1970 Paris Kinetic Op-Art Sculptural Circles Necklace In 18Kt Gold
By Yaacov Agam
Located in Miami, FL
Kinetic Op-Art necklace designed by Yaacov Agam (1928-).
This is a gorgeous piece of wearable art, created in Paris France by the French Israeli artist Yaacov Agam, back in the 1970. The kinetic Op-Art necklace was masterfully crafted in rich yellow gold of 18 karats with high polished finish. The design consists of five (5) independent round wires pendants, separate and graduated making concentric circles motifs in three dimensions. These circles are fitted with concealed hinges locks, which can be removed to convert the necklace with different patterns. The visual artistic aspect is achieved since the hanging circles slightly oscillate with the movement of the wearer, creating in turn the three-dimensional optical effect. This sculptural necklace was produced in a limited series of only nine pieces, making each piece to be unique.
Country: Paris, France
Period: Modernism, 1970.
Edition: Number 5 of 9.
Weight: 41.8 Grams, (26.80 Dwt).
Size: Fit a neck up to 16 Inches, (40.64 Cm).
Measurements: The dangle kinetic section is 89 mm by 42 mm (3.5 x 1.65 Inches)
Hallmarks: Each piece is stamped with French national marks; the maker's mark Ste F-F with a clover, the mark of the eagle for the assay and warranty of the 18kt gold, the edition number out of 9 and signed as follows, "AGAM 5/9".
Yaacov Agam
He is a renowned sculptor. He was born in Mandate Palestine, and lived there until 1949, the year after the establishment of the State of Israel. While living in Mandate Palestine, Agam studied in Jerusalem at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. Following his 1949 move to Switzerland, he studied at Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule and the Zurich University. He moved to Paris in 1951. Agam is considered one of the founders of kinetic art. Kinetic artwork typically contains moving elements and rely on motion provided by natural forces, motors, or human intervention to achieve their visual effects. In a twist on the classic model of kinetic art, Agam's sculpture Peaceful Communication with the World is painted in such a way that children's growth will change how the work appears to them as they get taller. In a more traditional vein, his Fire and Water Fountain uses mechanically driven parts to help achieve the visual effects. Agam works almost entirely in sculpture, with many of the sculptures on a massive scale. One of his more famous pieces called Hanukkah Menorah is in New York City, stands 32 feet high, and can function as a menorah. His sculptures appear in numerous cities around the world, including Jerusalem, Paris, Tel Aviv, Los Angeles, and the Bahamas. He has held exhibitions and retrospectives at both museums and galleries. His work has been shown in retrospectives at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Musee National d'art Moderne in Paris, and the Tel Aviv Museum. His solo exhibitions have appeared at Marlborough-Gerson Gallery in New York, the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico, and the Jewish Museum in New York. In addition to artistic work, Agam routinely involves himself in art education, with lectures delivered at universities and conventions. In 1968, he served as a guest lecturer at Harvard University, where he taught a course on visual communication. Some of his educational ideas for enhancing the cognitive and creative skills of children have been implemented in Israel. The artist currently lives and works in Paris and Tel Aviv.

Augustin Julia-Plana
Augustin Julia-Plana was born in Mataro, near Barcelona, in 1934. In his youth, he was a talented track and field athlete, and in 1954 was the Spanish 4 x 400m relay champion. After military service, he attended art school and then decided to go abroad to pursue his career. In 1963 he joined the Swiss jewelers Simon Schlegel, in Bern, before formally partnering with Schlegel in 1968 as Schlegel & Plana. Julia-Plana and Schlegel enjoyed a successful partnership together, designing and producing jewels for several established European firms, amongst them the French firm of Aldebert, and the Dutch firm of Bonebakker, as well as for watch firms such as Clerc and Yves Saint Blaise. They also counted fashionable women of high society amongst their clients, with Princess Soraya of Iran reportedly being a patron. Julia-Plana was known for using unusual materials in his designs, such as wood, meteorite, maw sit sit, and oxidized iron, selecting materials for their innate beauty rather than monetary value. He won several awards during his career, including multiple German jewelry awards, and four Diamonds International Awards. The De Beers Diamonds International Awards, which began in 1954, was considered the ‘Oscars’ of the jewelry industry, and rewarded beauty, originality, and imaginative use of materials. Julia-Plana won his first Diamonds International Awards in 1965, for a ‘V’ shaped bracelet of structured gold links decorated with diamonds, and won the award a second time in 1967, for a bracelet of shell shaped links, set with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. In 1969 he won the award for two separate designs, one ring set with diamonds and lapis lazuli cubes, and one brooch with tiger’s eye plates and diamonds, and in the same year gained membership of the Diamonds International Academy, joining fellow designers such as Andrew Grima and Gilbert Albert. Julia-Plana's unique and highly regarded designs are rare to see and can be found in the collections of tiffany & co. among others Swiss jewelry houses, with the watchmaker Simon Schlegel and Yves Saint Blaise, as well as under his own name and always are unique pieces. Julia-Plana tragically died at the height of his career in 1979, at age 45, of heart failure. As a note, Julia-Plana's unique and highly regarded designs are rare to see and can be found in the collections of tiffany & co. among others Swiss jewelry houses, with the watchmaker Simon Schlegel and Yves Saint Blaise, as well as under his own name and always are unique pieces, never mass produced.

Georg Jensen 1961 Nanna Ditzel Rare Necklace 18Kt Gold Vermeil Sterling Silver
Located in Miami, FL
Geometric necklace designed by Nanna Ditzel (1923-2005) for Georg Jensen.
Very rare geometric piece from the Scandinavian design, created in Denmark, by Nanna Ditzel back in the 1960's. Crafted with beautiful precision in solid .925 sterling silver with a 18 kt gold vermeil.
This geometric sculptural necklace is composed by 15 semicircular curved elements attached with circled links and suited with a discrete push lock with a hinged safety figure 8 for extra security,
Has a total weight of 273.5 grams, and an inside measure of 18 inches 45.75 Cm). The width measure is 30 mm (1.19 inches).
Stamped, with the post 1945 Georg Jensen cartouche, the assay hallmark and signed, "GEORG JENSEN NJ 925S 129".
Nanna Ditzel, born in 1923. Was a Danish designer graduated from the furniture department of the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. Has been studying under prof. Kaare Klint at the Royal Academy of Copenhagen. Nanna Ditzel is working with experimental and industrial design furniture, textiles, silver, faience and glass. Has experimented with the use of split-level living for indoors and outdoors. The ideas have been carried through in playgrounds, children libraries and showrooms. Freelance designer, she has a design office and showrooms in London. Nanna Ditzel started independent design office in 1946 together with Jorgen Ditzel. The co-operation lasted until the death of Jorge Ditzel in 1961.
Nanna Ditzel created many designs for Georg Jensen, mostly jewelry although she also created some hollowware. The relationship between the couple and the Silversmith began when Nanna decided to start designing jewelry as something she could do at home while her children slept. Soon after, a jewelry competition sponsored by A. Michelsen arose, and her designs had won first prize. Later on, in 1954, Finn Juhl, who was developing the 50th anniversary exhibition, passed the design work off for the exhibition to the Ditzels. Five pieces of jewelry were created for this exhibit, which were very well received. Further jewelry designs were created, and many of these pieces would go on to win various awards and prizes. In 1968, Nanna Ditzel remarried to Kurt Heide and relocated to London where they continued to work in the realm of design, establishing their own company Nanna Ditzel Productions Ltd. In 1986, her second husband passed away, and she moved back to Denmark, continuing her work. In recent years, Ditzel has focused mainly on furniture design, such as the Trinidad chair in 1993, however this design has also led to the further refinement for her jewelry pieces such as the bracelet #389 in 1994.
Ditzel has won many major awards during her long career and has had her work exhibited all over the world. She received the silver and gold medals at the Milan Tirennale (1954 and 1960), the Lunning Prize (with Jorgen Ditzel in 1954) and a gold medal at the International Furniture Design Competition in 1990, and the Thorvald Bindesboll Medal in 1999. She has also taken on the title of Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog, Honorable Royal Designer ( 1996). From Georg Jensen Hollowware...

Dalhoff's workshops. He also attended the Royal Danish Academy of Arts where he was influenced by Gustav Friedrich Hersch. In 1836, he went on a long journey abroad, working in some of the leading goldsmiths in Germany and Paris. He established his own goldsmith in Gothersgade, Copenhagen when he returned to Denmark in 1841. He immediately won the attention of the royal family and the king Christian VIII charged him with executing all Danish orders with title of royal court and order jeweler. Michelsen was the only Danish goldsmith who was represented at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1855. The company of A. Michelsen, was a leading Danish jeweler founded in 1841 by Anton Michelsen in Copenhagen. It was responsible for executing all Danish royal orders and was absorbed by the Georg Jensen company in 1985.
Eigil Jensen
Eigil Jensen was born in the Danish town of Aalborg in 1917. He liked drawing and was originally drawn towards graphic design, but was unable to find an apprenticeship. Instead, a goldsmith in Aalborg was looking for an apprentice who could draw. He soon showed an aptitude for his work and finished his apprenticeship in 1938. Jensen then sought new challenges and was employed by Hans Hansen in Kolding, Hans Hansen silversmith had an international reputation by this time. After five years at Hans Hansen Jensen sent his CV to A. Michelsen in Copenhagen, where he worked for the next forty years until his retirement in 1985. After just four years he became the foreman for the goldsmith workshop, he simultaneously studied and became a qualified gemologist and diamond expert. At Michelsen Eigil Jensen fulfilled many different design assignments, including jewelry, Christmas spoons, and hollowware. He also executed many commission orders; mayoral chains, church silver and silverware for Crown Prince Margrethe and Prince Henrik's as well as Princess Benedikte and Prince Richard...

YAACOV AGAM 1970 Paris Kinetic Op-Art Sculptural Necklace In 18Kt Yellow Gold
Located in Miami, FL
Kinetic Op-Art necklace designed by Yaacov Agam (1928-).
This is a gorgeous piece of wearable art, created in Paris France by the French Israeli artist Yaacov Agam, back in the 1970. The kinetic Op-Art necklace was masterfully crafted in rich yellow gold of 18 karats with high polished finish. The design consists of large round wires pendant of nine (9) separate and graduated pieces making concentric circles motifs in three dimensions. These circles are fitted with concealed hinged locks, which can be removed to convert the necklace with different patterns. The visual artistic aspect is achieved since the hanging circles oscillate slightly with the movement of the user, creating in turn the three-dimensional optical effect. This sculptural necklace was produced in a limited series of only nine pieces, making each piece to be unique.
Country: Paris, France
Period: Modernism, 1970.
Edition: Number 8 of 9.
Weight: 77.75 Grams, (49.85 Dwt).
Size: Fit a neck up to 16 Inches, (40.64 Cm).
Measurements: The dangle kinetic section is 127 mm by 62 mm (5 x 2.45 Inches)
Hallmarks: Each piece is stamped with French national marks; the maker's mark Ste F-F with a clover, the mark of the eagle for the assay and warranty of the 18kt gold, the edition number out of 9 and signed as follows, "AGAM 8/9".
Yaacov Agam
He is a renowned sculptor. He was born in Mandate Palestine, and lived there until 1949, the year after the establishment of the State of Israel. While living in Mandate Palestine, Agam studied in Jerusalem at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. Following his 1949 move to Switzerland, he studied at Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule and the Zurich University. He moved to Paris in 1951. Agam is considered one of the founders of kinetic art. Kinetic artwork typically contains moving elements and rely on motion provided by natural forces, motors, or human intervention to achieve their visual effects. In a twist on the classic model of kinetic art, Agam's sculpture Peaceful Communication with the World is painted in such a way that children's growth will change how the work appears to them as they get taller. In a more traditional vein, his Fire and Water Fountain uses mechanically driven parts to help achieve the visual effects. Agam works almost entirely in sculpture, with many of the sculptures on a massive scale. One of his more famous pieces called Hanukkah Menorah is in New York City, stands 32 feet high, and can function as a menorah. His sculptures appear in numerous cities around the world, including Jerusalem, Paris, Tel Aviv, Los Angeles, and the Bahamas. He has held exhibitions and retrospectives at both museums and galleries. His work has been shown in retrospectives at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Musee National d'art Moderne in Paris, and the Tel Aviv Museum. His solo exhibitions have appeared at Marlborough-Gerson Gallery in New York, the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico, and the Jewish Museum in New York. In addition to artistic work, Agam routinely involves himself in art education, with lectures delivered at universities and conventions. In 1968, he served as a guest lecturer at Harvard University, where he taught a course on visual communication. Some of his educational ideas for enhancing the cognitive and creative skills of children have been implemented in Israel. The artist currently lives and works in Paris and Tel Aviv.
