Ane Christensen Contemporary British Sterling Silver Bowl 1999

ANE CHRISTENSEN (b.1972) born in Copenhagen, Denmark/ based in London, UK

Bowl 1999

Sterling silver

Marks: AKC, 925, Z, British hallmarks

H: 2 ½” x L: 12”

Price: $5,950

The starting point for all of metalworker Ane Christensen’s tableware is a single sheet of metal. Her aim is to develop a three dimensional object from a flat sheet without adding or removing any elements. Japanese paper packaging influences Ane’s work, but a more important influence is the half finished or half demolished structures of building sites that she says can hold unexpected sculptural qualities.

Ane graduated from the Royal College of Art and has since been involved in exhibitions in London, Denmark and Copenhagen, including more recently at Collect, V&A.

Ane makes pieces in a variety of metals including silver, stainless steel and powder coated copper.
