Demetre Chiparus is one of the most prominent and recognizable sculptors of the Art Deco period. His Art Deco sculptures stand as a faithful representation of the Art Deco style, the Folies Bergere, flappers and the era of jazz. Today his works are highly sought after by any collector with a lavish eye and admired and coveted by avid Art Deco collectors. Genuine Chiparus sculptures are rare and can fetch significant sums at auction.

His sculptures are characterized by exquisite modeling of the female form, combining highly decorative and elaborate details with seductive Art Deco accents. His slender, long-legged and very lifelike figures have glowing faces above sensual and glamorously decorated outfits, inspired by the performers and dancers of the theaters of Parisienne, the Folies Bergere and Russian ballet troupes.
