About the Item
Nine unique 3-Dimensional multi-layered abstract structural and architectural shapes fill the frame with the added interest of the shadows cast by the layering. Greg Copeland was the master of these modern contemporary constructions. Within the nine presented there are subtle variations in the layers that capture the eye and yet they are all blended so one's interest never flags. There is an ebb and flow with the rounded edges and the sharp corners. This is one of his best creations.
Greg Copeland is an American Postwar & Contemporary artist of 3-Dimensional assemblages of multi layers of geomrtric cutout paper within an acrylic frame. It is another form of art in a shadow box type frame.
Copeland was born in New Jersey and in the 60's opened his first artist studio in New Dutch Lane Fairfield, and by the 80's had another studio in Courtland Street Patterson and then eventually becoming Greg Copeland INC.

- Glen Michaels "Winter Wind", Pentaptych Mosaic StoneLocated in Detroit, MISALE ONE WEEK ONLY This American Modern mosaic abstract sculpture has an extraordinary flow and liquid movement that belies its creation in stone. Its color is in keeping with the title, Winter Wind, a cold gray with sparks of orange and golden sepia. Michaels passed away in 2020 and was remembered by Cranbrook Art Museum: “Michaels is featured in the upcoming book, With Eyes Opened: Cranbrook Academy of Art Since 1932 (available in 2021) and will have work featured in the accompanying exhibition opening at Cranbrook Art Museum in June 2021. Below is an excerpt from the book, written by Eva Caston. “Glen Michaels was initially inclined towards a career in music. He played piano for vaudeville shows and won a scholarship to the Yale School of Music in 1950. There he drew caricatures for the school newspaper, painted portraits, and published a book of cartoons entitled Oh, You’re a Musician, which caught the attention of New Yorker cartoonists Mary Petty and Alan Dunn. He went on to receive his BA in arts education from Eastern Washington University in 1957. His teachers at Eastern Washington, Opal Fleckenstein and Frank...Category

- Eugene Caples "Bronze Sculpture I" Abstract Bronze SculptureBy Eugene CaplesLocated in Detroit, MISALE ONE WEEK ONLY This small exquisite "Bronze Sculpture I" is in excellent condition and a perfect example of Eugene Caples craftsmanship. Although it is mainly abstract, there are bits that look figurative either an arm or a leg attempting to emerge from a fold or attempting to hold a pose such as in yoga. It cries out to be touched and held, looked at and caressed. The beautiful patina on the surface gives voice to the many hands that have done these things. Eugene Caples is a designer and craftsman who worked in Kansas City in the 1960s and later through the early 21st century. He attended the Kansas City Art Institute, earning his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Industrial Design in 1959. In 1963 he was accepted to Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The Cranbrook Academy of Art was designed by architect and faculty member, Eliel Saarinen who collaborated with Charles and Ray Eames on chair and furniture design. Numerous creative artists are alumni of Cranbrook and include: Harry Bertoia, Florence Knoll, Jack Lenor Larsen, Donald Lipski, Duane Hanson, Nick Cave, Hani Rashid, George Nelson, Urban Jupena (Nationally recognized fiber artist), Artis Lane (the first African-American artist to have her sculpture, "Sojourner Truth," commissioned for the Emancipation Hall in the Capital Visitor Center in Washington DC), Cory Puhlman (televised Pastry Chef extraordinaire), Thom O’Connor (Lithographs), and Paul Evans (Created Brutalist-inspired sculpted metal furnishings.)

- Walter Midener "Contemplation" Seated Figure Clay Sculpture Mid-Century ModernLocated in Detroit, MISALE ONE WEEK ONLY “Contemplation” is an abstract clay sculpture of a female. The figure has both arms and legs extended, but the dignified pose suggests an intimate rather than a sexual moment. The sculpture is delicately rendered, but monumental in pose and clean composition reminiscent of the English artist Henry Moore. The surface is warm and slightly rough to the touch. This sculpture is in the round and beautifully balanced geometrically with the hands clasped behind the head forming a slightly flattened polygon shape that is echoed in the positioning of the legs and draped fabric of a presumed dress. The figure draws the viewer into her contemplation, peace and confidence. An exceptional piece by Midener. Walter Midener...Category

- John Glick Plum Street Pottery Glazed Bowl Reduction FiredLocated in Detroit, MI"Untitled" is a stoneware piece with the decorative layer of the rich toned glazes and markings that John was so well-known for. Each piece that John produced was unique. The lip on this piece is slightly scalloped and the shape is removed from the boring circular to mimic a gentle geometric design. He was seduced by the effects of the reduction kiln, which decreased the levels of oxygen during firing, inducing the flame to pull oxygen out of the clay and glazes changing the colors of the glazes depending on their iron and copper content. In this way he achieved the rich gradients of ochre and umber and variations in stippling and opacity. This piece is signed and stamped on the bottom. John was an American Abstract Expressionist ceramicist born in Detroit, MI. Though open to artistic experimentation, Glick was most influenced by the styles and aesthetics of Asian pottery—an inspiration that shows in his use of decorative patterns and glaze choices. He has said that he is attracted to simplicity, as well as complexity: my work continually reflects my re-examination that these two poles can coexist… or not, in a given series. Glick also took influences from master potters of Japan, notably Shoji Hamada and Kanjrio Kawai, blending their gestural embellishments of simple forms with attitudes of Abstract Expressionism. He was particularly drown to the work of Helen Frankenthaler whose soak-stain style resonated with Glick’s multi-layered glaze surfaces, which juxtaposed veils of atmospheric color with gestural marks and pattern. He spent countless hours developing and making his own tools in order to achieve previously unseen results in his work with clay and glaze. Glick’s “Plum Tree Pottery...Category
