This post may not resonate with some traditionalists. The return of “Mad Men” has me in a mid century kinda mood. As such, I have been considering how and where I could incorporate a metal wall sculpture a’la C. Jere in my home. Back when I lived in a mid century home in LA, I considered investing in one, and we moved before I got to that level of detail. Thanks, a lot, Doug…

Even though my house now is classic New England architecturally speaking, I see no reason why something like this can’t be displayed on a large wall, and I am thinking in my stairway. I love how these pieces combine metal, art and nature; and I love the 3D appeal. I especially like the way they look like wall jewelry. All the rage in the 60′s, bronze and metal sculptures are looking fresh again. And I love the notion of hanging one in a non-mid century setting.

The ultimate is to invest in a signed piece, but if the price prohibits, find a vintage “copy” “in the style of C.Jere’” and be thrilled. Would you dare?
