Grete Prytz Kittelsen The Art of Enamel Design

The objects she created-both jewelry and hollowware, such as bowls, plates, and vases-have been rediscovered by an increasing number of admirers in Scandinavia and abroad in recent years, as well as in the United States and Japan. Her work is highly regarded by design historians, experts in leading decorative art and design museums, professional craftsmen and designers, and-not least-enthusiastic collectors. Educated at the New Bauhaus in Chicago, Kittelsen worked with such notables as Ray and Charles Eames, Jørn Utzon, and Paolo Venini. She was married to Norway's best-known modernist architect, Arne Korsmo, and collaborated with him as well. Her work was the subject of a retrospective in Norway and of a documentary film; the exhibition will travel to the Design Museum of London and to the United States and Japan.
