Bowl

Marie Zimmermann American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774

The work of Marie Zimmermann was admired and celebrated during her lifetime, and it continues to attract attention today. Although trained in painting and sculpting, she was primarily a metalworker, who liked to say that she made "everything from tiaras to tombstones." Among Zimmermann’s best-known oeuvre, her lobed and flared bowls are iconic. They are normally fashioned out of copper and patinated in a range of colors, primarily green, brown, red, and blue. That this example is made entirely of silver renders it especially unusual and appealing.
