Description
The Fruit Bowl is a result of a rare occasion where Wegner, not concerned about practical issues used wood turning techniques to create a stand-alone piece that was extravagant and elegant. Wegner presented the Fruit Bowl at the annual Cabinetmakers Guild’s Autumn Exhibition, where a journalist questioning the reason for this excessive extravagance confronted him. ” Well, sometimes you like to just let go!” Wegner replied. It is a one-off piece of art that states the high points of the golden era of Danish Modern in the 1950’s.
