Untitled hanging pine wood sculpture by Ralph Dorazio

ca. 1968

About the Item

Ralph Dorazio (American, 1922 - 2004) was a modernist sculptor who drew inspiration from the New York City avant garde scene in the 1960s and 70s. He collaborated with modern dance pioneers and composers, designing sets, props, costumes, and instruments for their performances, which served as artworks in their own right. Dorazio was recognized namely for his consummate craftsmanship and devotion to the organic nature of wood, producing many sculptures within the medium, embodying the music and movement of the time.

  • Oval Form "Rain"
    By Bodil Manz
    Located in New York, NY
    Bodil Manz (Danish, b. 1943) is a ceramicist known for her predominant use of ultra-thin, translucent eggshell porcelain to create distinctive cylindrical forms, anchored by bold, geometric abstractions in a style evocative of Russian Suprematism. Much in the way Morandi approached a still life or Albers the square, her engagement with the cylinder form ad infinitum is study in the master’s ability to extract sublime nuance from the seemingly quotidien. In her own words – “Focusing and concentrating on a single object such as a sphere, a square, a cylinder, a cup, fundamentally something quite ordinary, the stuff of everyday life, [seems] indeed almost banal. But during the process we discovered fresh aspects, and suddenly ‘the ordinary’ became a new experience. Bodil Manz’s work is included in many important museum collections including: the Museum of Modern Art New York, Victoria and Albert in London, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Musée de Sèvres...
