Rare - 1925 Pierre Turin - Bronze - Art Deco Medal - Piece of History

Description: Size: 2 1/2″ (6 cm) high and wide Text translation; Commemorating the international exhibition of the modern industrial and decorative arts held in Paris in 1925 Have you ever heard of Art Deco? Pierre Turin is the artist that has introduced said style to the world during this exhibition almost 100 years ago. This medal is as iconic as it gets. Exquisite bas -relief of a semi-nude woman in a moderne attitude playing with a garland. Pierre Turin is widely considered the most accomplished Art Deco medalist. He was born in Sucy-en-Brie, France, in 1891 and died in 1968. He attended the École des Beaux-Arts, where he studied under Vernon, Patey and Coutain. In 1920 he won the Grand Prix de Rome, and was made Chevalier of the Légion d’Honneur in 1936. His most famous work is this very medal, for the exhibition that gave the name to the Art Deco style. There is two versions of this medal, a lager more common one in plain brass and this slightly smaller, rarer version, with a silver coating. I have only seen one other specimen on the market which is being sold for well over $ 2400
