Description

A LARGE GEORG JENSEN SILVER CENTREPICE BOWL "WAVE" NO 980 Henning Koppel for Georg Jensen, post 1945 H. 15/D. 39 cm Design by Henning Koppel in 1948. "DESSIN HK DENMARK. Georg Jensen in dotted oval (1945-77) STERLING. 980". Ca. 3289g. Minor scratches and minute dents to rim. Lit. Janet Drucker, Georg Jensen - A Tradition of Splendid Silver, 1997, p. 258 The Danish designer Henning Koppel (Copenhagen 1918-1981) first studied drawing and then sculpture under Anker Hoffmann at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. He began designing gold and silver in exile in Sweden during World War II at Orrefors and Svenskt Tenn, returning to Copenhagen in 1945 and working with the silversmiths Georg Jensen until his death in 1981. His designs, the so-called "New Look", had a completely new design concept. Turning away from the decorative elements of Art Nouveau and the geometry of the Art Deco period, his works show simple surfaces with an organic, slightly asymmetrical basic shape. His works were awarded gold medals at the Milan Triennale in 1951, 1954 and 1957.
