Biography
The sculptor Peter Tereszczuk was born in 1875 in the Ukrainian city Wybudow.
He created most of his works, which stylistically correspond to the Art Nouveau period,
during 1895 and 1925 in Vienna where he also spent most of his life time.
Tereszczuk mainly created bronze sculptures, sometimes with very delicate ivory elements
and small figural art works like inkwells or other desktop items.
He is a typical Art Nouveau and later Art Déco artist. less
