A striking mixed-metal modernist necklace designed and handcrafted in Mexico in the 1960s by the renowned jewelry studio Taller Maya. This bold and sculptural piece showcases the studio’s signature use of hammered brass, copper, and patinated detailing, arranged in an interconnected geometric chain supporting a large circular pendant with richly textured, multi-tonal hammered surfaces. The necklace features alternating hammered links, copper accent rings, and round decorative medallions, all connected with Taller Maya’s characteristic hand-forged techniques. The large pendant—layered with concentric hammered textures—creates a dramatic focal point that embodies the expressive and culturally rooted aesthetic for which the studio is celebrated. The piece retains its original hallmark: “Maya” and “Mexico” Measurement: Length: 16.50 in (41.9 cm) This necklace is an excellent example of mid-20th-century Mexican modernist jewelry...

Oil on panel by acclaimed outsider artist, Bruno Del Favero (b. Italy 1910, d. USA 1995), circa 1970. Fine example showcasing Del Favero's aptitude for creating fantastical landscapes. Contrasting oxen / bulls and flamingos with a castle backdrop creates an imaginary context removed from reality. Del Favero's marriage of fantasy and whimsy beautifully suits his Naïve painting style. Singed on verso. Bio from the Philadelphia Museum of Art: Born Princeton, Michigan, 1910; died Greenwich, Connecticut, 1995 Bruno Del Favero moved from Michigan to northern Italy with his parents at age five, returning in 1928 and settling in Greenwich, Connecticut, where he married and remained for the rest of his days. He made his living as a mason, chauffeur, and landscape gardener. It is not known exactly when or why he began to paint his delicate and mysterious landscapes, but he was exhibiting in local art shows by the early 1970s and took himself seriously enough as an artist to join the Greenwich Art Society. He maintained a studio in the basement of his home, but never shared his art with his wife and five children. After the artist's death his family introduced his work to New York dealers Shari Cavin...

To Chicago-based artist Patrick Fitzgerald, his miniature car sculptures are a means of traveling through time. Born from a fascination with the soap box derby cars of his youth, each vehicle is an exercise in imagining the future through the lens of the past – or vice versa. Built from found materials collected over the years, the car's futuristic form is layered with personal memories and keepsakes from the past. The most minute of details is always intentional – from the weathered finish to the fictitious sponsor to the miniaturized furnishings of the cramped interior. This coloful vehicle entitled “Senzo Titulo” is a play upon the 1964 film "Il Deserto Rosso," or "Red Desert," by Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni...
