About the Item

Hand built heavily glazed solid ceramic structure by NY artist Judy Engel. Expressionist style hand built and heavily glazed in a high metallic palladium glaze. Judy's first introduction to this style was the Empire State Plaza in Albany, NY. "In the 1970s, upstate school kids were taken to The NYS Museum on field trips. While we were guided through the museum's Native American, Mineral, and Fire Engine exhibits, I was most drawn to the amazing architecture, sculpture, and paintings that were Outside of the museum along the concourse and the plaza outdoors. We didn't learn about it back then, but as I got older, I learned that this was The Empire State Plaza Art Collection , which has been referred to by art historians as "the greatest collection of modern American art in any single public site that is not a museum".

During the last two years, the value of his works has multiplied by 5 , proof with the last Artcurial auction sale from December 4th 2019.

"The moment when the official hierarchies collapse, where the powerful become ridiculous and the fools the only wise respected. The moment of inversions, negations, derision and extravagance. Abel and Cain, Salome and Saint John the Baptist : whatever the time and the weapons, it is almost always the same story", said Combas.
