About the Item

1978 carved wood fertility sculpture by Edwin Scheier, Signed Offered for sale is an untitled sculpture by the listed American artist Edwin Scheier (1910-2008) constructed of Guanacaste hardwood and cord. This tall, hand-carved sculpture is signed on the base and dated '78. Edwin Scheier was an American artist, best known for his ceramic works with his wife, Mary Scheier. Edwin works in a number of mediums including sculpture, ceramics, painting, and drawing.

  • 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...
