Curtis Jere is a compound nom-de-plume of artists Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels. Curtis was the production chief and Jerry was head of design. Their goal was to produce "gallery-quality art for the masses". Kurt and Jerry sold Artisan House in 1972. Kurt Freiler died July 22, 2013 at the age of 103. Sold and resold, the company still produces metal sculptures including reintroductions of popular mid-century designs.

Some rubbing to brass and some scattered scratches; loss to one integral wall hook, with associated welding compound.
