About the Item

Ceramic Wall Hanging or Centerpiece with Engravings, Sticks, and Thread Balanced abstract sculptural piece by an unknown artist (20th Century). This sculpture is composed of various textures of finished and unfinished clay. There are designs embossed and pressed into the clay, in a variety of depths. Three sets of twigs are mounted with multicolored and gold thread. The same thread has been used to create a cylindrical shape that appears to be pressed into the clay. This piece could be wall-mounted (either vertically or horizontally), or placed as a centerpiece on a table. There is a "chop" embossed into this piece, but it is unclear if this is the artist's name, or was selected for aesthetic reasons. Overall dimensions at widest points: 18.5"H x 23.5"W x 3.5"D

Abstract Wall Sculpture "Synopsis" - Early Hologram Effect
By Halvorsen Vever, Elsbeth
Located in Soquel, CA
"Synopsis" by Elsbeth Halvorsen Vever (American, b. 1929). Box sculpture combines aluminum, sand, bone, glass and a magnifier. Signed "Elsbeth Vever 1982" on verso. Image, 24.50"L x 13.75"H x 4"W. Using bone as the central image Elsbeth has assembled an optical and visual experience. One view is the magnification and juxtaposition of the floating effect of the curvature in the stainless steel background; stand back and it's a hologram effect. The first image shows clearly the hologram effect available to the eye of the viewer. From a review of her show of box constructions in Providence, Rhode Island: "Viewing her box constructions is a lot like a walk in the moonlight. What we know, or think, to be true in the hard brightness of daytime reality dissolves into an amorphous space of multiple possibilities and perspectives." Born in Purdys, New York, Elspeth Halvorsen is the daughter, granddaughter, and mother of professional artists. She has studied at prestigious academic and artistic institutions includingthe New School for Social Research, the Art Students League, and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. In 1955, she moved to Provincetown, Massachusetts, establishing her home and studio in the former residence of Mark Rothko. Provincetown not only remains her home but also acts as a personal, social, and artistic source of inspiration for her work. Shortly after arriving in Provincetown, Halvorsen and her husband, the late Tony Vevers...
