Decorative Ceramic Bowl, Carlo Zauli, Italy c. 1960

About the Item

Large ceramic bowl in polychrome glazes with metallic luster characteristic of the creations of Zauli during the mid-60s, with a strong far eastern inspiration. Carlo Zauli (b.1926-d.2002) is one of the most striking artists of the second half of the 20th century in Italy. He contributed to revitalise Italian ceramics, to carry it internationally and to release it from its purely useful or decorative functions. His creations earned the artist of prestigious official prizes, notably in Faenza by three times in 1953, 1958 and 1962. Additional pictures and infos can be provided on simple request. The piece is in excellent condition.

  • Carlo Zauli Italian Artist Abstract Ceramic Sculpture Signed Zauli
    By Carlo Zauli
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Ceramic sculpture by Carlo Zauli from the series "Sphere" done in the circa 1970s. Stoneware and very abstract. Influences of Lucio Fontana are apparent. Exhibited large scale installations during Milan Design Week 2013. Carlo Zauli is indisputably considered one of the most important sculptors of the twentieth century. After having won the main awards in ceramics in the fifties, the early sixties saw him evolve towards a markedly sculptural interpretation of his Craft. In these years he developed his own artistic language, imbued with informal atmospheres intertwined with a harmonious but disruptive "naturalness": these are the years of growing international success. From 1958, the year in which the great high-reliefs were made for the Baghdad palace and the Kuwait State Printing Office, he saw his fame grow continually, up to the end of the seventies and eighties, throughout Europe, Japan , North America, where he realizes exhibitions and placed work permanently. Carlo Zauli was born in 1926 in Faenza, where he died in 2002. Instead of ornate platters and decorative vases, his work seemed to have emerged from the earth itself, with organic curves, jagged edges, cracks and fissures that reflected the artist’s keen connection with nature. It was this passion for the natural world that made his work revered in Japan. Zauli first showed in the Japan as well in 1964 with the International Exhibition of Contemporary Ceramic Art that toured several top museums. At the beginning of 1960s, Carlo Zauli enters an artistic period in which he could be defined 'a sculptor of vases.' He subjects his vases to a progressive process of geometrical synthesis that, combined with a sort of abnormal growth, turns them into true sculptures. His studio receives frequent visits from Arnaldo and Giò Pomodoro, Giuseppe Spagnulo...
