A super rare vintage 1940s 50s one of a kind handmade sterling silver futuristic modernist necklace by top-tier mid century modernist silversmith Ed Wiener (1918-1991) of New York City. A striking modernist design entirely handmade from sterling silver sheet that is polished bright at the sides and back, and with four oxidized black plaques at front each with a different futuristic raised design. The symbols portrayed look like futuristic architecture to me, but someone else might see something different. I've only ever seen this design before on a pair of cufflinks by Wiener, this is the only time I've run across this necklace in my 45+ year career! No doubt super rare, and very likely a one of a kind creation! Ed Wiener was born in 1918, but didn't start making jewelry or art of any kind until after WWII in 1945. He was instantly successful, and the very next year opened his first shop in Provincetown selling Mexican silver jewelry and craft items alongside his own creations. and later the same year opened his first stuio in the East Village. Early the next year, he opened a shop called "Arts and Ends" which was open at one location or another for most of his remaining life. In his early years he worked mostly in silver, but later on added gold and gemstones to his repetoire. He passed in 1991, having left a diverse and impressive body of work, and is accounted amongst the greatest of studio jewelers of his generation. Measures 15" wearable length presently, and easily adjusted for larger sizes by added extra links at back at the closure. Measures about 1.75" wide at front oxidized plaques. Weighs over 65 grams total. Marked "Ed Wiener Sterling" as shown. Excellent vintage condition.

Issei Yamauchi (born in 1929) is a Japanese artist known for his works in Obara Paper Art, a traditional Japanese art form using paper fibers. He is considered a leading artist in this field and has garnered significant recognition within Japan. Yamauchi began his artistic journey in 1948, apprenticing with Fuji Tatsukichi, a prominent figure in the arts and crafts movement in Japan who worked to preserve traditional art forms. He began exhibiting in the Nitten (National Art Exhibition) in 1953, winning the gold medal in 1963 and later becoming a juror. His work has been gifted to dignitaries, including the Showa Emperor of Japan and General Douglas MacArthur. Yamauchi is renowned for his mastery of Obara Paper Art, where he arranges paper fibers to create detailed and intricate images. His works often feature natural elements like chrysanthemums and mist, rendered with varying opacities using paper fibers and gold leaf. His style is characterized by a dreamlike mood and surreal execution, making his work unique. Obara Washi paper is a traditional work of art in which the raw material of Japanese paper, Kozo (paper mulberry), is dyed so that it can be enjoyed as an art form, and pictorial patterns are made instead of paint.
