Extended Information
SOLD - Part of the late 1970's pop-art c. jere kitchen utensil series.
You will also receive a copy of a fun article that ran in a 1980 Newspaper Arts section entitled “Pop Sculpture Becoming Popular”. The 1980 article talks about the great gourmet group of accessories made by Artisan House of Los Angeles. It states that “the outsized whisk, can opener, and metal strainer are customer favorites, not only at Pop-eye in New York, but at numerous other outlets across the country”.

All Curtis Jere utensils were designed by B.J. Keith, Artisan House's gifted and prolific head designer from 1980 until she retired last year. Mentored by Jerry Fells, Ms. Keith started with Artisan House in 1975. According to an email her daughter sent me last year, her kitchen utensil designs were her ticket in! The c. jere kitchen utensils are the longest running design in Artisan House history. Ms. Keith is quite famous in the metal sculpture field. Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest and American Bungalow, as well as in numerous executive offices in the entertainment world.
According to an Artisan House press release we received this past summer " Keith possesses an artsy gustiness and a risk-taking personality that were encouraged early on by Artisan House's renowned art director Jerry Fels, who later became her mentor and friend. The first metal art drawings the young Keith submitted to Fels were "pretty amateurish," she remembers. But Fels "went crazy" over the two-foot-tall, pop-art metal sculpture of a can opener that Keith did as a school project. He enlarged Keith's design to four feet in height and asked her to create a series of kitchen utensil-themed wall sculptures."
