Terracotta Sculptures

Great sample of the very well known jewish artist Susi Selma Singer.We think these pieces were made in USA after she emigrated from Austria her native country.

A beautiful large glazed terracotta sculpture by the noted East Hampton based artist Phyllis Hammond. It is quite large and extremely well done. It is signed Hammond lower back and the artist has identified the piece as having been done in the late 1970s. It appears to have been made in two parts and then joined.
