• Among the "Brücke" artists, Schmidt-Rottluff creates the most extensive and diverse body of jewelry.
• The amber pendants go back to his finds on the coast of Nida.
• His jewelry pieces are characterized by their unconventional and artistic handling of material, technique and form, and thus bring forth an aesthetic of their own.
• The artist's jewelry pieces are individual gems, often made especially for a close circle of collectors, friends and family.
• In a fascinating way, the pieces combine characteristic concepts of form from the artists' work between jewelry, collector's item and commodity.
• From the artist's rarest work group on the auction market (source: artprice.com).
PROVENANCE: From the artist's estate.

This pendant made of natural amber also belongs to Schmidt-Rottluff's amber finds from Nida, while its plastic processing possibly took place somewhat later. The stone is broken and glued in the middle - perhaps this is the reason why it lost its hanger. Schmidt-Rottluff has carved a raised relief out of the large, opaque amber, with hues of a deep brown and a light honey yellow. The surface is not smoothed, its porous structure remains a key design element. The monogram nestles into the curved overall shape of the amber. Whether it is the two ligatured letters "EF" or just an "E" is difficult to identify. In any case, they are the initials of Emy Frisch, his later wife. The pendant dates from a time when their relationship became more serious, so it has a special significance as one of the first gifts. In 1914 Schmidt-Rottluff also designed headbows and visiting cards for Emy Frisch's photographic workshop, and after the end of the war he presented her with an ebony pendant with ligatured, geometrical ornamental initials, and in the 1950s with a corresponding pendant cut in ivory. With these gifts, Hermann Gerlinger was able to add several very personal objects of the artist to his collection (Gerlinger, Schmidt-Rottluff und das große "E", in ex. cat. Bernried 2018, pp. 36-41).
Almost all of Schmidt-Rottluff's jewelry pieces were made as gifts or were purchased for the wives of friends, collectors, and patrons. Thus, they mainly have a private background and were only occasionally shown in exhibitions. For the first time in 1912, a few pieces were shown in the arts and crafts section of the Cologne Sonderbund Exhibition, in 1925 Max Sauerlandt showed jewelry and sculpture by Schmidt-Rottluff at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg, and in 1928 his former assistant Alfred Rohde integrated amber works into a special exhibition at the Königsberg Palace.
