EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking silver beaker, created by Danish-American artist Holger Hansen in 1938, is a captivating example of modernist design from the 1930s in America. The beaker, which measures approximately 5 inches in height, is made of sterling silver and features a graphite drawing on paperboard as its decorative motif. The abstract design, with its bold lines and geometric shapes, reflects the artist's exploration of the relationship between form and function in the context of tableware. Holger Hansen (1897-1981) was a prominent figure in the American arts scene during the mid-20th century. Born in Denmark, he immigrated to the United States in 1921 and studied at the Art Students League of New York. Hansen's work spanned various mediums, including painting, printmaking, and design. His innovative approach to silverware and other homeware earned him a place in the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American-made decorative arts from the colonial period to the 1940s. This silver beaker, now a cherished artifact in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Hansen's unique artistic vision and his contribution to the cultural heritage of the United States. The beaker's sleek, minimalist design and its intriguing combination of silver and graphite make it a standout piece, not only as a functional drinking vessel but also as an expression of the artistic sensibilities of the 1930s in America.
