Bob Stocksdale Mahogany Turned Wood Bowl, Signed, 1960s
About the Item
A 1960s mahogany turned wood bowl by important and influential American master woodturner Bob Stocksdale.
Deceptively simple lathe-turned solid mahogany form with straight exterior sides, smoothly curved interior, and thinly formed rim displays an intuitive understanding of material, artistic eye for grain placement, and meticulously executed technique.
Very handsome and rich naturally acquired tone and patina preserved by a hand-applied satin finish. 6.5-inch-diameter base with faintly visible hand-inscribed signature and wood type.
Bob Stocksdale’s (b. 1913–2003) acclaimed fifty-year-long career spent woodturning out of his Berkeley, California, basement workshop began in earnest in 1946, one year after Gump’s in San Francisco started showing his work. His bowls were included in the American exhibit of the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair, and are in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the de Young Museum in San Francisco, the Oakland Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, among others.
His many honors include the American Association of Woodturners Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998, and the American Craft Council’s Gold Medal in 1995. Most importantly, Stocksdale revitalized and elevated the art of woodturning, inspiring and influencing countless woodworkers around the world, including notable friend and sometime collaborator Sam Maloof (b. 1916–2009).

By Ruscha, Kurt Tschörner
Located in San Francisco, CA
An uncommon 1960s “Vulkano” glazed ceramic horse by Kurt Tschörner for notable West German pottery studio Ruscha Keramik.
Very lively stylized sculpture of a horse with head thrown back and left leg raised displays strikingly powerful elegance from every angle. White clay finished in Tschörner’s signature super-saturated “Vulcano” lava-colored reddish-orange glaze, with various shades of olive green adorning the forelocks and tail.

Herbert Laurence Davidson “Young Boy on Carousel”, Oil Painting, 1960s
Located in San Francisco, CA
A poignant 1960s oil painting on canvas depicting a young boy on a stationary carousel by important mid-century American artist Herbert Laurence Davidson (b. 1930–2018).
A characteristically sensitive portrait by the artist, with his subject's red-eyed expression and dejected body language suggesting that there would be no more rides that day. With a well-earned reputation as a skilled American Realist, the short, finely hashed brushstroke technique that Davidson employs to achieve a detailed, luminous effect is all the more impressive upon closer examination. Signed "Herbert Davidson...
