THE STORY
Puiforcat's name is synonymous with Art Deco glamour; even in his day, the important French silversmith was renowned for the elegant, often mathematical simplicity of his geometric forms and the unexpected combination of flawless metalwork with precious wood or other exclusive materials. Puiforcat served in WW I, After the war, he apprenticed as a silversmith and a designer in Paris and designed the Art Deco style. His silver work has smooth surfaces and was based on the geometric series. Jean Puiforcat moved to Saint-Jean-de-Luz around 1927, the next year he co-founded the 'Union des Artistes Modernes' and designed tableware. In 1941 he moved to Mexico and started exhibiting in the United States.
Andy Warhol collected Puitforcat silverware, which he acquired while visiting Paris in the 1970'. His Puitforcat collection was sold by Sotheby's for $451.000. Work by Puitforcat is held in the collection of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
