THIS is Art Deco!

My latest NEWP is a real nice one to add to my 'deco' collection and I was lucky enough to find it in a French auction.
Basically no medal is more definitive than the medal from the Paris 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Art (Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes). This was a World Fair to showcase the modern style which was eventually given the name Art Deco.
The artist is Pierre Turin who was one of the pre-eminent medal designers of the era, and even designed a few coins in his spare time (see this is numismatic isn't it?!). I have a couple of his medals now, but this is truly the icing on the cake.
