Courtville recently displayed at an incredible antiques fair in the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York and our very own Alyce got to check out an exhibition of one of the most prestigious art deco artists while on her travels. 

Tamara de Lempicka had a fascinating life, one that has now been made into a broadway musical. Her unique, standout style had a lasting impact on the Art Deco movement, and her own collection of art, jewellery and antiques is heavily influenced by artists of the time. 

Alyce takes us with her on her exploration of Lempicka in NYC, from Broadway to the Sotheby’s exhibition, along with sharing what she learned about this formidable female icon.

QUOTES

Her name is synonymous with the art in which she created and has for a long time lived on the fringes of pop culture. - Alyce Ketcher 

When we look at her pieces, she is probably the only artist who has ever really taken the essence of the Art Deco period, and actually put it on canvas. - Alyce Ketcher 

Tamara de Lempicka was known for enjoying all the things of the Art Deco period, and that was not limited to fashion that you wore, but also jewels that glittered and accessorized those outfits. Many of her portraits will have gorgeous pieces of jewellery. - Alyce Ketcher
