Born in 1932 in New York City, Sica began her artistic career in 1950 while studying at the Art Students League of New York, and later at the Pratt Institute, New York. She also traveled extensively, eventually settling in Saigon, Vietnam, as Duy Tan's apprentice, then in Athens, Greece, with Emanuel Pilidikis. She bolstered her reputation simultaneously by participating in several international art invitational and symposiums. Aside from Vietnam and Greece, Sica has lived in England, Spain and Yugoslavia, and her oeuvre reflects an enlightened perspective of the world, its people and its cultures. Sica's work is in the collections of Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, Pérez Art Museum Miami and New York University in addition to many other fine arts institutions and private collections.

'Bucchero' Ceramic Bust Italian, 1950s
By Gio Ponti
Located in Meer, VAN
'Bucchero' female head / bust attributed to Giò Ponti and Carlo Alberto Rossi. Mid 20th century, Italy. This is a rare and marvelous little mid century ceramic head / bust by Carlo Alberto Rossi after a design attributed to Giò Ponti. Very stylistic and elegant. The ceramic gets its characteristic black color through a special process in which the oxygen is removed from the red clay. So no paint or varnish is used. This is a technique that dates back to the Etruscans. Many works by Carlo Alberto Rossi and his brother – with whom he collaborated – have the characteristic black color. The Rossi brothers collaborated with the famous architect and designer Gio Ponti. Several of his designs – including this head – were executed in the Rossi’s studio. The collaboration was a great success. Some of the works were also shown at the IX Triennale of Milan in 1951. Please note we have a selection of 'Bucchero' pieces by Gubbio artists C. A. Rossi, Sebastiani and Elio Cerbella...
