    Sascha BrSascha   had great talent for shape and design. As one of the originators of '50s functional design, Sascha lead an amazing life. Best known for his extensive ceramic work, he also delved into watercolor, metal and ceramic sculpture, enameling, charcoal, pastels, resin and fabric.
    Sascha B. has been described as a 'modern Celline: for the great number of interests and talents he possessed. At an early age, he was awarded an art scholarship to the Cleveland Art School, where he studied ballet and art. He danced several seasons with the Cleveland Ballet.
    In 1940 at age 22, Sascha moved to New York City, and joined the Clay Club. He worked feverishly at his art, while working as a window dresser at Macy's for his "day job". Sascha's work was well received in New York art circles. All of his 37 piece exhibit sold at his first showing in the Clay Club Sculpture Gallery, May of 1941.
    Zanuck, the head of 20th Century Fox Studios, commissioned Sascha to design costumes for Betty Grable in Diamond Horseshoe. Fox was impressed with Sascha's designs and in 1946 signed him to a seven year contract as a costumer.
    Millionaire industrialist, Winthorpe B. Rockefeller, took an avid interest in Sascha's work, serving as a financial backer, and social circle promoter. With Rockefeller's support, Sascha moved into a much larger shop on Compton Avenue in West LA.
    After several expansions, Sascha opened a state of the art factory and studio on W. Olympic Blvd. in West LA in 1953. At the Grand Opening such Hollywood luminaries as Edward G. Robinson, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Mitzi Gaynor made it the party of the year. Sascha counted Joan Crawford, Donna Reid and many other prominent stars as customers. His work commanded high prices for the period. Statues sold for up to 0.00, while chargers and lamps went for between 0.00- 0.00.
    In the mid '50s, Sascha was very busy, designing meal sculptures, producing one of a kind commissioned pieces for Rockefeller and others, as well as design pieces for TV shows. He made public appearances at fine department stores to promote his lines, and appeared on television decorating and talk shows. Sascha even had exposure in the movies; an elaborate metal fish sculpture of his was prominently featured in the in the Sci-Fi classic, Forbidden Planet. Sascha was Hollywood's darling.
    It was after 1965 that he produced works of Styrofoam and resin.
    Sascha battled cancer in the '80s, and did not effectively produce any new pieces. He died in 1993, leaving an endearing legacy of function, vision, and design.
    Sascha B. gives the collector much to search out; his designs varied from fanciful carousel horses, to geometric abstract design, to stylized Alaskan scenes.
    Until several years ago, prices for Sascha were a fraction of original cost. Now prices are increasing dramatically [as of publication in 1995]. It's not unusual for a teapot to sell for 0.00 or a resin animal for 0.00. Ashtrays, a most popular '50s product, generally are modestly priced ranging from about .00.
    A new book [still available currently] has created real excitement in the field of Sascha collecting. Sascha Brastoff by Conti, De Wayne Bethany & Seay, includes history, extensive illustrations, and a price guide. -Bonnie Regan
