Biographical History
Marie Zimmermann was an American artist, working chiefly with metals, in the first half of the 20th century. She was born on June 17, 1879, in Brooklyn, New York. Marie studied painting, sculpture, and metal craft at the Art Students League in New York City from 1897-1901, followed by additional study at the Pratt Institute from 1901-1903. She designed jewelry, vases, silverware, tea sets, candlesticks, bowls, furniture, andirons, door knockers, sculptures, garden ornaments, and gates. Marie worked in copper, bronze, silver, iron, and gold. Her pieces often included wood, enamels, and precious or semi-precious stones. Over her career, she exhibited at a number of museums and galleries around the country. In 1937, Marie moved out of her studio at the National Arts Club and several years afterwards retired from her art career. She eventually left New York City, settling on the family farm near Milford, Pennsylvania; there she enjoyed hunting and fishing. . She died on June 17, 1972, in Florida, and her ashes were scattered at her farm in Pennsylvania. Two years later, the federal government purchased the property, and it is now part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Her former home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
