About the Item

Incredibly unique ceramic artwork by celebrated artist David Korty. Piece is fully ceramic and in the shape/form of a book with multiple square and round cutouts along the pages. Detail of lifted pages also incorporated into the piece to capture 'movement.' Official artist bio below: "David Korty (b. 1971, San Francisco, California) has shown extensively in Los Angeles, in solo exhibitions at Night Gallery, China Art Objects, Kohn Gallery and LAXART; at Derek Eller Gallery and Greene Naftali in New York; and at Sadie Coles HQ in London. Korty's work has been acquired by the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the Grunwald Center for Graphic Arts, Los Angeles; the Judith Rothschild Foundation; and the Rubell Collection. His work has been covered in Artforum, The New York Times, The Guardian, and Modern Painters, among other publications. A monograph of Korty's work entitled Blue Shelves was published by Sadie Coles and Night Gallery in 2016. In 2020, he was awarded the Frederick Hammersley Visiting Artist residency at the University of New Mexico. He lives and works in Los Angeles." The piece has a small minor chip along the top-right edge of the piece. Does not take away from the aesthetic value of the piece, marked on backside.
