About the Item
Amazing large-scale salt-fired abstract planter by well listed potter, Sandra Johnstone c1970s. Signature chunky wood top with leather cord attaching it to the vessel. Johnstone (1936-1991) studied with Peter Voulkos at UC Berkeley in the early 1950s. She was at the forefront of a very pivotal time in ceramics where things started to go from "functional" to more abstract expressionist. Working next to Peter Voulkos and witnessing a new way to approach clay inspired her tremendously, and is very evident in her work. Unfortunately back in the 50's women didn't get the attention that men did and Sandra did not get the recognition she deserved. In addition Johnstone also studied with Paul Soldner. She eventually went on to build her own salt kiln in the early 80s. This piece is from a large collection of Johnstone pieces that have just been unearthed from a former colleague, and is the first time in the market.
