About the Item
A wonderful example of an abstract ceramic or sculpture in blue, referred to as a bird house or face vase, by Indian / American artist Gerry Williams (1926-2014).

Boghosian was born in New Britain, CT and after serving in the United States Navy, he attended Central Connecticut Teachers College and the Vesper George School of Art in Boston. In 1953, he had a Fulbright grant to paint in Italy, and from 1956 to 1959, he worked with Josef Albers, geometric abstractionist, at Yale University where he earned both his BFA and MFA.
