Claire Falkenstein

Abstract sculptor Claire Falkenstein was born in 1908 in Coos Bay, Oregon. Falkenstein worked with a variety of materials including metal, ceramics, glass, and wood. An artistic innovator, she perfected a new technique for inserting colored glass into a webbed metal structure. She also created some of the earliest examples of nonobjective American sculpture. Falkenstein completed several large commissions in both America and Europe, including the gates to the Venice palace that now houses the Peggy Guggenheim collection. Her art can be found in several museum collections, including the Centre Pompidou, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Claire Falkenstein died in 1997 at the age of 89.
