Maren Kloppmann
Bronze black and white porcelain wall installation sculpture by Maren Kloppmann

2016

About the Item

German-born, Minnesota-based Maren Kloppmann is a ceramic artist renowned for her architectonic wall sculptures. Both her large and small-scale installations are studies in the reconciliation of the divergent qualities of natural and man-made structures by creating a visual dialog between the two aesthetic aspects. Using a variety of ceramic techniques, including throwing, slab building, and coiling, Kloppmann focuses on the three dimensional space her pieces will occupy. The resulting artworks are stable, contained shapes, often in modular repetition. The juxtaposition of colored glazes creates soft tensions and unique geometries. Her works can appear at once organic and architectural; they are minimalist studies in the precision of line, volume, and form that blur the boundaries between craft, design, and fine art.

  • Shadow
    By Bodil Manz
    Located in New York, NY
    Bodil Manz (Danish, b. 1943) is a ceramicist known for her predominant use of ultra-thin, translucent eggshell porcelain to create distinctive cylindrical forms, anchored by bold, geometric abstractions in a style evocative of Russian Suprematism. Much in the way Morandi approached a still life or Albers the square, her engagement with the cylinder form ad infinitum is study in the master’s ability to extract sublime nuance from the seemingly quotidien. In her own words – “Focusing and concentrating on a single object such as a sphere, a square, a cylinder, a cup, fundamentally something quite ordinary, the stuff of everyday life, [seems] indeed almost banal. But during the process we discovered fresh aspects, and suddenly ‘the ordinary’ became a new experience. Bodil Manz’s work is included in many important museum collections including: the Museum of Modern Art New York, Victoria and Albert in London, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Musée de Sèvres...
