Elle Deco UK did mention him a couple of months back too. But before that his name had already been buzzing on some message boards/ forums.
IMHO the work is really rather varied with respect to quality (some of it looks a bit tired/ dated). But there are some lovely pieces among his works !

So it's a pen name? There is no sculptor by the name of Curtis Jere?
Thanks for the link.

It is
It is, as far as I know, one man..a californian resident

Well, there is some...
Well, there is some ambiguity. The question "nom de plume"/ or not was discussed at lenght at a forum years back. It is still the first link google will give you when you type in "Curis Jere". This link also gives info on fluctuations in pricing. I'll add the link below.

Hi Ite
I don't know enoughto comment..
Always liked his (their) stuff
I guess it is so typical of the period, and that is why it has become so popular

Oh gosh robert, we are almost...
Oh gosh robert, we are almost agreeing again ! ^o^ Yep some of CJ' stuff I would not mind having myself. (Such as the piece in the visual link above.) But there are some horrible ships and colored stuff that really do not give me that *click* at all.
As for the 1 man/ multiple guys questions, I do not know either. The posted forum link is not conclusive in my opinion, and I really do not have more or other information.
O yes, recently CJ is infesting 1dibs like you wouldnt believe..

I rarely look
I rarely look on 1st Dibs
but the few pieces that turn up in the UK are usually cool.
birds and ships, I can live without...
We normally like the same stuff 😀

It's a name created by the 2 owners of a company
It's not a real person/artist. It's just a play on their names.

What are
the full names of these two owners?

nevermind, found it.... is this true?
This is from the link above:
the JERE of Curtis Jere is VERY MUCH ALIVE
---living as JERRY FELS.
he is my great uncle. ... living in California
his son, peter fels, is also a sculpter...
www.peterfels.com
Curtis Jere' is a compound non-de-plume for a design group formed and directed by Jerry Fels for their company Artisan House . The company was formed by Jerry Fels and Curtis Freiler and has since been sold and resold.
Prior to Artisan House, the partners built a costume jewelry business selling work under the names Renoir and Matisse which employed around 300 people at one point.
Jerry Fels specialized in design and sales, Mr Freiler ran production. Both men are still quite alive.
A number of different artists contributed designs that were produced under the C. Jere' name.
Hope this helps clear things up
.....Peter Fels

Thanks everyone
