Georg Jensen Silver Crucifix Design No. 151A Pendant Size: 50mm (2") x 57mm (2 1/4") with Belcher Chain 600mm (24") also Marked Designed by: Henning Koppel Manufactured: Post 1945 Price: £175 (plus postage) Note: Henning Koppel was hired by the Georg Jensen company in 1949. By the early 1940's Nordic jewellers had embraced 'Biomorphism' Biomorphist art focuses on the power of natural life and uses organic shapes, with shapeless and vaguely spherical hints of the forms of biology. Biomorphism has connections with Surrealism and Art Nouveau . Henning Koppel and the term 'Biomorphism' have come to be virually synonymous. His advant guard designs caused much intra-company controversy but now examples of Henning's work have become icons of mid 20th century jewellery design |
