拍品专文


Born in Geneva, Angst studied under sculptor Jean Dampt in Paris from 1895. His subsequent work, exhibited shortly after this apprenticeship, was critically acclaimed as it followed a development away from over-elaborate ornamentation to a cleaner and more considered form of Art Nouveau. Very few works by Angst are documented apart a small number of sculptural pieces. The present pieces, featured in a key exhibition at the very height of the Art Nouveau movement, constitute the only full suite of his furniture currently recorded.
