Artists specialised in mural sculpture and metallic decorative objects, Curtis FREILER and Jerry FELS are known under the contraction of their two names: CURTIS JERE. While FREILER is the production manager and FELS the head of design, they established Artisan House in 1963, which will manufacture their creations. Those are distributed by Raymor, a cutting-edge studio in New York, and sold at Gump in San Francisco. Wishing to develop a “quality art gallery for the masses”, CURTIS JERE created numerous decorative panels and sculptures going from abstraction to detailed figuration.
