Georg Jensen

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 2.— Georg Jensen, Danish silversmith, died today at the age of 59 years. He had a large clientele in the United States and an office in New York.

An exhibition of Mr. Jensen’s works was held in New York in 1922. The collection comprised 400 specimens of his art and was shown at the Art Centre, 65 E. 56th St. Following an exhibition in Paris in 1920, mostly of hand wrought silver, a specimen was acquired by the Louvre and Mr. Jensen became a member of the Salon. In 1921 his works were shown in London under the patronage of Queen Mary. His motifs were largely flowers and berries.

Mr. Jensen was one of the leaders of the artistic revolution against Victorian bad taste. From his school in Copenhagen, he sent all over the world the designers and silversmiths who create or influence most of the work in silver today.
