Lore Garrick Biography: Renowned New York artist, art collector and jeweler Mrs. Harvey E. Garrick (1920-2013), also known as Lieselotte Lore Garrick, created modernist jewelry in the 1950-70s. She had a shop in Manhattan - Greenwich Village where she sold her brooches, earrings, bracelets and pendants made from sterling silver, copper and brass. Alongside the likes of Ed Wiener, Art Smith, Henry Steig, Sam Kramer, Paul Lobel, Peter Macchiarini, and Bill Tendler, just to name a few. She signed her hand wrought pieces with capital letters LORE. All of her pieces were one of a kind and hand-forged by her personally.
