1970s Edwin Scheier Carved Sculpture Symbolizing Fertility

About the Item

1970s Edwin Scheier Carved sculpture Symbolizing Fertility Offered for sale is a rare, untitled sculpture of Guanacaste wood and paint by the listed American artist Edwin Scheier (1910-2008). Edwin Scheier was best known for his ceramic works with his wife, Mary Scheier. The couple moved to Mexico to study Oaxacan Indian arts and crafts where their pottery and woodwork were heavily influenced by fertility symbols. This sculpture is one of a group of three (the other two are offered in separate listings) that were recently acquired from a private collection in Rhode Island. This example of Scheier's sculpture symbolizes fertility. We can pack and box this for parcel delivery.

  • Edwin Scheier 1964 Modernist Sculpture of Man Riding Jaguar Which Has Eaten Man
    By Edwin and Mary Scheier
    Located in Mobile, AL
    An early and fully three dimensional sculpture by Edwin Scheier exhibiting a symbolic or mythological representation that represents the circle of life. The bent wood, carving, piercing and rope work are all manifest at a high level in this quixotic almost whimsical work of 1964. Edwin (and Mary) spent over a decade in the 1960's and 70's in Oaxaca, Mexico where he often worked with Guanacaste wood and local fibers, to great success. A perfect compliment to a mid century modern interior and a must have go along with any major mid century and/or Scheier ceramics...
