At Home Auction June 14th 2023
Lot 297

DIRK DE KEYSER (b. 1958)
Le Vent (The Wind)
Bronze, 176cm high

Dirk De Keyzer was born in Sleidinge, East Flanders on 19th December, 1958.

He enrolled at the art academy of Eeklo as a night student, while maintaining his day job, until in the mid 1980s when he became a professional sculptor. In his self-titled monograph published by Absolute Art Gallery and Editions Art in Belgium he is quoted as saying “‘Being too serious is never a good thing’. His female figures, for instance, are elegant as well as sensual. They often flaunt rather provocative high breasts, though they are usually dressed. In fact, their clothing is a pretext for the artist to add lively details and give the figure an extra aesthetic dimension”. The present work ‘De wind’ or ‘Le vent’ was purchased by the current owners in 2004 from Galerie Vivendi in Paris. The handsome price of €16,500 was paid for the piece and it has been enjoyed in their garden in South Dublin since.

A copy of the monograph accompanies this lot, and Le Vent is illustrated with a full page on p.31.

This diamond bracelet is a true vintage beauty, collectible and investment piece, signed by Sterlé and is going under the hammer next Tuesday with us ❤️

Pierre Sterlé (1905-1978) was famed for his innovative approach to jewellery design, embodying the dynamics of 1950s design. The son of a family of bankers, Sterlé trained as a jeweller in Paris under his uncle Maynier-Pinçon following the death of his father during the First World War. In 1934, he founded his own jewellery making company and was sponsored by many large jewellery houses located on the Place de Vendome, including Boucheron, Chaumet, and Van Cleef & Arpels, who had already used his talents for their own firms. Sterlé’s talent as a designer soon allowed him to emerge from his status as a jewellery manufacturer to a successful jeweller and artist in his own right. His reputation was cemented when he won the De Beers Diamond Award, a major achievement in the jewellery world, for three years running in 1953, 1954 and 1955. Sterlé’s success as an artist during this time ensured he received large-scale recognition in France as well as on a global scale. He worked for many heads of state and royalty, including Queen Narriman of Egypt and Princess Soraya of Iran and socialised with fellow avant-garde artisans in France, such as Jean Cocteau, Georges Bracque and Salvador Dalí.

His work is distinguishable by his intricate pieces, wrought with great movement and energy, often using baguette-cut diamonds and coloured gemstones in sweeping, curling lines. Above all, it was Sterlé’s invention of the ‘knitted-gold technique’ or ‘angel thread’ which would lead to his fame at the climax of his career in the 1950s and 1960s.
