Mardi Jo Cohen 1989 Memphis Geometric Brooch in .925 Sterling with Gemstones
Located in Miami, FL
Brooch designed by Mardi Jo Cohen (1959-).
Beautiful one of a kind piece, crafted by the renowned American silversmith artist Mardi Jo Cohen, back in the 1989. This sculptural geometric brooch was made with Memphis design patterns in solid sterling silver, with high polished finish. Fitted with a hinged bar and a mechanical lock to wear as a brooch. This can be also wear in a chain.
Gemstones: Mounted in bezel settings, with round cabochon cut gemstones such; black onyx and white nacre.
Materials: Silver, Lucite, Gemstones and Formica.
Weight: 24.95 Grams, (15.99 Dwt).
Measurements: 61 mm by 98 mm (2.40 x 3.85 Inches).
Hallmarks: Stamped with the maker's mark, the silver assay mark and signed, "MARDI JO COHEN 89 STERLING SILVER".
Mardi Jo Cohen was born in 1959. Her works can be found in the Yale University Collection, the National Museum of American Jewish History and the Museum of Art and Design in New York, as well as other prominent museums and galleries coast to coast. Often seen in the form of serving utensils and jewelry is rarely seen let alone available to acquire.
The Memphis style
Was emerged in 1981, when the Italian designer and architect Ettore Sottsass founded a group of artists and designers called Memphis. Bob Dylan’s song 'Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again' was playing on repeat during the group’s first meeting, which led to the group being named 'Memphis'. After the inaugural meeting, the group decided that they would meet again in February 1981. The members brought over 100 drawings with them, picturing a variety of bold, colorful designs with multiple stylistic influences. The Memphis Group went on to create furniture, fabrics, patterns, ceramics and other products in a distinctly Postmodern style that blended stylistic traits of 1950s kitsch, Art Deco, and Pop Art. If you love unashamedly brash and bold colors and patterns, you’ll be very happy to hear that the Memphis Style, the design style pioneered by the 1980s Memphis Group, is very much back in vogue.
In 1985 Cleto Munari, set up a workshop-studio for the manufacture of unique objects in collaboration with some of the greatest architects, designers, artists, and writers in the world, among them Mario Botta, Alessandro Mendini, Alvaro Siza Vieira, Mimmo Paladino, Sandro Chia, and Dario Fo...
