JEWELRY. Ibram Lassaw (Egypt/New York, 1913-2003).
Est: $1,000 - $1,500
Signed Ibram Lassaw pendant on necklace. Incised with the artist's signature "Lassaw" verso. By Lassaw estate provenance, "Lot 545 with the four star shapes is bronze and could easily shine like gold - which is how Ibram liked them to be. The signature on lot 545 was etched on copper with acid... This last year I have created a source book of images, which is handy to flip through to search for particular pendants. So in a few minutes this afternoon I discovered an image I scanned from a stereo slide, which is very very small. Among about 20 pendants photographed together I discovered Lot 545 which can now be dated circa 1966. The photo was taken in 1966, the pendant may have been around for a year or so before". From a Westchester, NY estate. Dimensions: pendant measures approx. 4" w x 4.375" h.

JEWELRY. Ibram Lassaw (Egypt/New York, 1913-2003).
Est: $1,000 - $1,500
Signed Ibram Lassaw pendant on necklace. With etched signature of Lassaw verso. By Lassaw estate provenance, "Lot 544 appears to have several metals - because it is so oxidized its hard to be exact but I would say there is bronze, silicon bronze, and perhaps phosphor bronze and nickel-silver... The only similar pendant I can find is a necklace (with chain) create for Mary Rockefeller in 1952. So it is most likely that 544 was originally sold by Kootz Gallery in the early 50s". From a Westchester, NY estate. Dimensions: pendant measures approx. 4" w x 3.5" h.
