Make a bold statement with this authentic, large-scale 1996 postmodern wall sculpture by the celebrated design house Curtis Jeré. Measuring a striking 45 inches wide, this dynamic piece beautifully captures the playful, geometric energy of the late Memphis design movement.

Curtis Jere sculptures are defined by a Mid-Century Modern and Brutalist metalwork style that blends abstraction with tactile, industrial textures. Pieces feature torch-cut, sheared, crimped, brazed, and welded elements with aged or luminous patinas.

This sculpture features a complex multi-layered composition that plays with form, color, and texture. Three prominent matte-black triangular pyramids anchor the right side, sharply contrasted by a cascading stack of teal and green iridescent geometric blocks. Balancing the piece is a sweeping, multi-toned blue and pink metallic ribbon that curves elegantly over black crescent tracks. A highly polished gold-toned sphere rests at the base, acting as a visual anchor for the intersecting forms.
Authenticity & Provenance
The sculpture is hand-signed and dated in silver paint on the lower edge of the far-right black pyramid: "© C. Jeré 1996." This piece is a verified mid-90s production from Artisan House, showcasing the high-quality craftsmanship the studio is famous for.

Thanks to its sweeping horizontal scale, this sculpture makes a perfect room-defining centerpiece over a mid-century modern credenza, sofa, or dining room buffet. It mounts securely to the wall with integrated metal brackets hidden behind the main framework.

Large wall objects measuring over 40 inches wide are the most sought-after size category for Curtis Jeré wall art. They command a higher price because they function as a dramatic, room-defining focal point.

The hand-signed silver paint signature is crisp, completely legible, and perfectly matches the known authentic signing styles of Artisan House pieces from the mid-to-late 1990s.

The painted geometric pyramids and the blue/pink ribbons look exceptionally clean with minimal color chipping and minor oxidation on underside of metal of pink ribbon detail.

The surface pitting on the brass-plated bottom sphere and minor oxidation remains the only condition drawback. However, because it is located on a localized element rather than across the entire sculpture, it is a manageable vintage flaw See less
