About the Item

Ceramic (Grés) centerpiece designed and produced by Carlo Zauli in 1970. Unique piece. Signed. Biography: Carlo Zauli (Faenza, 1926-2002) is one of the great names in post-war Italian sculpture. Like other masters of previous generations, from Martini to Fontana and Leoncillo, his technical training was in the field of ceramic art. Zauli moved away from its formal principles in the sixties, however, when his work moved towards a complex form of sculptural research of great expressive richness. The shift from informal territories towards a reasoning about geometrical forms as rhetorical structures brought him into the heart of the sculptural debate of those years. The solo exhibition at the Montenapoleone Gallery of Milan in 1957 fitted in perfectly with other works that were part of a trend towards an integration of the arts (frieze for the palace in Baghdad, 1958; frieze for the government printing office in Kuwait City, 1961; participation in the Milano Triennale in 1954, 1957, 1964 and 1968) and with his close friendship with artists like Fontana, Valentini, Pomodoro, and Spagnulo. In the late sixties his sculpture started entering intricate, problematic areas in which the formative disposition of matter, the relationship between the substance and skin of the sculptural body, the dialectic between biomorphism and geometry, and the structural behaviour of form all came to the fore. The great solo exhibitions (Musées Royaux d’Art et d’Histoire in Brussels and Hetjens-Museum in Düsseldorf, 1972; a travelling exhibition in Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya, and Kyoto, 1974; and another in Fukuoka, Tokoname and Tokyo, 1981) and works of architectural integration gave his work truly international scope, as can be seen in the recent travelling retrospectives. Carlo Zauli died in 2002. His works are now in over forty museums around the world.
