"Georg Jensen forged a unique new style that was at once universal and versatile," says Kathryn Hiesinger, Curator of Decorative Arts after 1700 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. "Whether a teapot richly decorated with natural forms or a centerpiece left chastely simple, each Jensen object is a complete sculptural statement defined by the clarity of its contours." In addition to examples of Jensen's own designs, objects by many of the artists whose work has helped define the Georg Jensen style over the years will also be on view, including Johan Rohde, Harald Nielsen, Sigvard Bernadotte, Soren Georg Jensen, Henning Koppel, Magnus Stephensen, and Verner Panton. Among the highlights will be drawings for and pieces from Georg Jensen's celebrated 1905 Blossom service the lids are decorated with a full magnolia bud and silverwares and drawings by Soren Georg Jensen and Henning Koppel, whose abstract, expressive shapes in the mid-20th century led the firm in new directions that have continued to the present.
