About the Item

Susan Tunick (American, b. 1946) Speedy Run #1, 1983 Oil on canvas 62 1/2 x 10 3/4 inches Signed and dated on the reverse Susan Tunick, artist and President of Friends of Terra Cotta, received a B.A. and M.F.A. from Bennington College in Vermont. Tunick presents ceramic tiles and free standing works that reflect her strong interest in color, texture, and form. The playfully patterned and brilliant clay pieces utilize negative space along with layers of complimentary and striking colors. Influenced by a number of sources, including her training in painting, perhaps the most dominant one has been architecture. Susan Tunick states, “Many of the exceptional buildings I have studied have helped to foster my love of geometry. Building units – whether bricks, roof tiles or hexagonal pavers – and the repetition and variation they make possible, have played an important role in my work.” One of her publications, Terra-Cotta Skyline (1997) won that year’s New York Society Library Award and the Brendan Gill Award from the MAS. She recently completed a commission include three outdoor clay and cedar sculptures for a property in Vermont. In addition, she has worked on a number of public projects including: Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Station, Bayonne, NJ, murals in PS 222, Jackson Heights, Queens and varied works for 3 locations in the New York City Subway. Her work has been featured in numerous books including Public Art for Public Schools, Ceramics in the Environmentand Along The Way: MTA Arts for Transit. She has received various grants, as well as the Landmark Lion Award from Historic Districts Council (2018); the International Ceramics Award, presented by Ceramic Arts Foundation (1999) and the Tile Heritage Foundation Award (1997).

By Emanuel Buckvar
Located in New York, NY
Emanuel Buckvar (American, b. 1980) Peonies, 2011 Oil on canvas 30 x 24 inches Signed, titled and dated on the reverse Provenance: The artist Private Collection, Long Island, 2011 contemporary AbEx artist Emanuel Buckvar successfully refutes the idea that there is nothing left to explore with drip or splatter paintings. Buckvar explores ideas of space and volume in his work. He frequently "paints in the dark" so as to focus on the process of creation as opposed to the thing created. From the time he was a child, Emanual Buckvar loved, collected, studied and sold art purchased from estates, so for Christmas 2010, his wife bought him a batch of paint, stretched canvases, brushes. Then she had to nag him for months to give it a shot. Finally, he gave did, deciding to do some action paintings (outside at dusk in his driveway). To his astonishment, he sold several to customers for thousands of dollars each. His first and best selling paintings...
