New City Artist Eva Zeisel Dies At Age 105
Award-winning industrial designer and ceramics artist was a longtime
South Mountain Road resident.
Longtime South Mountain Road resident Eva Zeisel of New City, an award-
winning and internationally-known industrial designer and ceramics
artist, has died at age 105, according to family friends.
Born in Budapest, Hungary, on Nov. 13, 1906, Zeisel's designs are
shown in museums and sold in stores around the world and on the
Internet. In 2005, she received the National Design Award for Lifetime
Achievement by the National Design Museum of the Smithsonian.
Her work is also sold through a family-run online business, Eva Zeisel
Originals.
Friends said age did not deter her work. In 2010, two designs released
through EvaZeiselOriginals.com — a lounge chair and salt and pepper
shakers were featured in Oprah Winfrey's O Magazine. Zeisel was also
interviewed for a story in the April 2010 magazine about the sources
for her continuing inspirations.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been completed.
