Ed Wiener
Ed Wiener was an American jewelry designer who was active from the 1940s until his death in 1991. He is known for his bold, modernist designs that often incorporate abstract and geometric shapes.
Wiener's jewelry is primarily crafted in sterling silver, with occasional use of gold, brass, or copper. He was inspired by the work of artists such as Alexander Calder, whose mobile sculptures inspired Wiener's use of movement and kinetic elements in his jewelry.
Wiener's designs often feature abstract shapes, such as circles, squares, and triangles, arranged in asymmetrical compositions. His jewelry is known for its clean lines and sculptural forms, as well as its emphasis on negative space.
Wiener's work has been exhibited at museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and has been included in prestigious collections such as the Smithsonian Institution's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. His designs continue to be highly sought after by collectors and jewelry enthusiasts.
