goldsmith, Heger de Lowenfeld, double sided stud, ribbed textured fish form, approx. 18.0 x 19.0mm, stamped and signed "Heger De Lowenfeld, 018, G Braque", yellow gold, 28.5 g
Provenance: Michael L. Laughlin Estate, Aiken, South Carolina
Note: In 1961 Georges Braque, already one of the most famous and respected painters of the 20th century, began designing jewelry in collaboration with goldsmith Baron Héger de Lowenfeld. The jewelry first debuted at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs at the Louvre in 1962 and traveled to New York in the summer of 1963. Braque passed away later that year, leaving de Lowenfeld, who Braque once called an "extension of [his] hand," to carry out the production of the jewelry collection, as based on detailed gouaches Braque left behind.
