Maureen Bergquist Gray
"Guitar Player, " Carved Limestone signed by Maureen Bergquist Gray

1999

About the Item

"Guitar Player" is a limestone sculpture by Maureen Bergquist Gray. Much like the cubists in the early 20th century, Maureen abstracts the figure of a guitar player into simple shapes with only abstract references to the subject, like the horizontal etched lines on the right half of the sculpture. 21" x 14" x 6" sculpture Artist Statement: "By creating I am seeking illumination and clarity in a time when neither is easily accessible. Being a sculptor is my attempt to reach beyond my barriers, either real or imagined, physical, mental or spiritual. it doesn't matter. I do not need to explain my reality to you. What I must do is open a door for you to experience a new reality. Some people will understand and some won't, this is irrelevant because the interaction between art and viewer has already taken place. One must trust their own instincts as to what good art is.... that is the challenge."

Picasso Madoura Ceramic A.R. 142 Ice Pitcher
By Pablo Picasso
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Pablo Picasso A.R. 142 Ice Pitcher 1952 12.6” x 21.6” Pitcher Edition of 100 White earthenware clay, decoration in oxides, knife engraved on white enamel Ramie 142 is a Madoura ceramic that one rarely sees come on the market. The photo you see here is the actual piece that you will receive. Most sellers online post using stock photos that don’t necessarily match exactly to the piece you receive. This particular piece is pristine: there are no nicks, bruises or scratches of any kind. Be careful when buying from others – the pieces sometimes have nicks or scratches. The Certificate of Authenticity comes with this piece. We have sold over 3300 pieces with all positive reviews. We are located in the USA. When you buy from a foreign seller on 1stdibs, you have to consider the problems of getting the piece through Customs. There are often delays and considerable fees to pay in order to import the item. When purchasing from us, we ship the same day and you receive it via FedEx the next day, no problems or hassles. When you purchase from an auction house, you pay a buyer’s premium of anywhere from 23% to 28% over the “hammer price”. So when you “win” an auction for $20,000, the actual price paid is more like $25,000. By contrast, when purchasing from us, the price agreed to is the price paid by the buyer, no hidden fees. When you purchase from an auction house, you pay the packing and shipping fees, which are usually exorbitant. By contrast, when purchasing from us, the price includes packing and shipping. When you purchase from an auction house, the sale is final. If you receive the piece and are not 100% satisfied with it, there is nothing you can do about it. You are stuck with it. By contrast, when purchasing from us, the buyer can determine if they want to keep it. If not, the buyer returns to piece to us for full refund, and we pay the shipping both ways! The prices of Picasso Madoura Ceramics have been on fire lately (no pun intended). The major auction houses – Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Phillips – have now been regularly holding Picasso Madoura Ceramic auctions...
