Four-Drawer Murano Glass Commode in Mondrian Style, 1970’s

Four-Drawer Murano Glass Commode in Mondrian Style, 1970’s

This commode features a striking design inspired by the geometric abstractions of Piet Mondrian, with a grid of black lines forming a pattern of rectangles and squares across its front surface. The shapes are filled with a mix of bright primary colors—red, blue, yellow—along with green, brown, and white, creating a bold contrast that emphasizes the modernist aesthetic. The structure is framed by a gold-colored border that adds a touch of elegance to the overall design. Gold-toned vertical and horizontal handles are positioned in a grid-like arrangement, further enhancing the geometric theme and adding a functional, yet stylistic element to the piece. The commode stands on short, square legs, which, along with its clean lines and sharp angles, give it a minimalist and contemporary feel. This piece is a modern interpretation of the De Stijl art movement, blending functionality with artistic expression, making it both a practical storage unit and a statement piece in any interior.

Flame Colored Copper Painting by Arthur UNGER. Signed.

Arthur UNGER (1932- )Crafted through the intricate process of flame-painting on copper, this piece showcases an explosion of vibrant colors, from rich copper tones to iridescent pinks and greens. The unique patterns and textures are the result of intense heat transforming the metal, creating a one-of-a-kind work of art that cannot be replicated.This piece is sold without a frame.BiographyArthur Unger was born in 1932 in the city of Hespérange, Luxembourg.After graduting, he follows administration and management courses in Bruxelles, and then settle in Belgian Congo, where he had lived for 5 years, and specially with the tribes Lunda and Baluba. This long African journey is very important for the development of Arthur’s art.In 1963, back to Europe, he settles in Paris. There, he discovers the artistic life of the French Capital and makes his first drawings and gouaches.In 1968, he came back to Luxembourg, and invents a technique of drawing with Inidian Ink, and a painting technique uppon brass, using electrolytic cupper which became his favourite medium (he calls his new technique « pyrochemograms uppon cupper »).In 1970, he meets Michel Tapié ; it is a major event in the artistic life of Arthur. Tapié is very interested in Arthur’s work and writes the forewords of all the exhibitions by Arthur Unger in France and in the world. In 1980, Michel Tapié dedicated a monograph to Arthur Unger at the Galerie Sources in Paris.The personal exhibitions of the works of Arthur Unger mainly take place in France, in Luxembourg, in Germany and in Switzerland (three times at the Basel Art Fair).
