Rare Gilt bowl with snail supports designed by Gabriella Crespi for Christian Dior, made in Italy circa 1970 Part of the "Animalia" series. Metal label to the underside signed Gabriella Crespi. Gabriella Crespi (17 February 1922 – 14 February 2017) was an Italian artist-designer whose work spanned furniture design, jewelry and sculpture. Transforming objects by adding changes in their function, Crespi developed her style with a repertoire of more than two thousand pieces. Her work methods recall those of Renaissance workshops, bringing craftsmanship and artistic approach together. Her design pieces have been appreciated and owned by public figures as King Faisal, the Shah Reza Pahlavi, Grace Kelly, George Livanos, Thomas Hoving, Audrey Hepburn, Gunter Sachs and celebrated by design enthusiasts and magazines. Career: At the end of the 1950s, Gabriella Crespi commenced her activity as a designer and presented her first collections in Milan. Mrs. Hoving, owner of Tiffany & Co. and Bonwit Teller at that time, owned her first works and, from the early 1960s, her objects were commissioned by Dior for the gifts department, home decor and dining: the ties between Crespi and Dior will last for almost twenty years. Between the 1970s and the 1980s, Gabriella Crespi gained an elite place among the 20th century furniture designers with her "Plurimi" series (1970-1982), the "Z Line" (1972-1974) and other pieces, such as "Obelisk" (1968-1970), "Moons" (1969-1980) and "Kaleidoscope" (1970-1976). Crespi retired in 1987 and, at the age of 65, she ventured into the Himalayas where she lived for two decades. She published a book in 2007, "Ricerca di Infinito Himalaya", after the retreat. In 2011 a retrospective exhibition of her work, Gabriella Crespi: The Sign and the Spirit, was held in Milan at Palazzo Reale. In 2015 Crespi presents in the Rita Fancsaly Gallery "New Bronze Age," a series of new limited editions of her most iconic works: "Ellisse table", "Dama table...

Bronze stripper Frederic Debon Signed Federic Debon Material bronze Foundry Susse Frers stamping Paris. Art nouveau, modernist art or modernism was an international artistic and decorative movement, developed between approximately 1890 and 1914. The 'new art', as its name in French, was an original, youthful and modern style. The art nouveau cultural movement emerged at the end of the 19th century and remained until the beginning of the 20th century, seeking to contrast with industrialization after the second industrial revolution. Art nouveau uses motifs inspired by nature or organic materials to capture sensuality and eroticism in decorative art objects, characteristic of this movement. Art nouveau encompasses the fields of painting, sculpture, literature, decoration, photography, and the design of jewelry...
