Catalogue Note

'We are indeed living in the true Iron Age, and the powerful means of modern metallurgy, deployed for the execution of a work of art conceived of and elaborated on the scale of those means, will provide an artistic spectacle of imposing grandeur...' (Edgar Brandt, 'Lecture to the Graduates of the Technical Professional Schools', Paris, February 10, 1922, in: Joan Kahr, Edgar Brandt, Master of Art Deco Ironwork, New York, 1999, p. 6).
