Californian Modernist "Raindrop" Chrome Sculpture by Curtis Jere

Creator: Curtis Jeré
Offered by: Danish Modern LA

Description
This Californian Modernist “Raindrop” chrome sculpture by Curtis Jere is a striking example of mid-century American studio art, blending sculptural form with elegant simplicity. Crafted with a sleek chrome surface that reflects light and space, the work evokes cascading motion and organic fluidity. Its abstract, droplet-like elements create an engaging three-dimensional presence that works beautifully as both modern decor and collectible art. Designed to be displayed as a focal point in a living room, entryway, or gallery wall, the piece complements a wide range of interior styles from contemporary to vintage. Preserved in vintage condition, it remains a powerful statement of sculptural mid-century design.

Fun Historical Fact
Curtis Jere is the collective name of artists Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels, who began producing metal sculptures in the early 1960s under the Jere name for Allied Imports (later Artisan House). Their work became emblematic of mid-century American decorative art, often blending abstraction with organic influences in materials like brass, chrome, and copper. The “Raindrop” motif reflects the era’s fascination with movement and nature, translating fluid forms into polished, modern sculptures. Over the decades, Curtis Jere pieces have become highly collectible for their craftsmanship, imaginative designs, and distinctive place in mid-century modern art and decor.
