This gorgeous piece created and signed by Hollis Fingold, epitomizes the whimsy and fun of the 1980s & Memphis Milano style. Hand painted by the artist in airbrush and brush stipling, her pieces command acclaim as they are beautiful and equally useful as this one is a jewelry box, complete with a matching attached airbrush cushion for your most precious baubles.
Hollis Fingold exhibited her first commercial pieces at a show in NYC in 1985. She was well known in the 80s & 90s for her functional art.

In 1986, Radar Design Inc. in Denver, Colorado began under her supervision producing her limited edition work with showrooms in NYC, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, Chicago and Switzerland. Her was sold widely in department stores, galleries and museum stores from China to Hollywood.
