Claude Gaget French Artist Ceramic Tree Sculpture from La Borne France

About the Item

Claude Gaget ceramic wood fired tree sculpture created in La Borne, France. Elegant various shades of light to dark brown colors which are influenced by the position of the sculpture in the kiln and the effects of the wood fire. Signed at the base Original perfect condition Claude Gaget arrived in La Borne 13 March, 1973. He was working at Pierre Mestre’s house and set up his first workshop in Boisbelle. From 1974 onwards, he has shared his life with Claudine Monchaussé. Claude tackles several themes: chairs, trees, decorative panels depicting scenes from life, café atmospheres featuring the pleasure of stopping off, of freezing lost time. He has a passion for ancient stoneware and he continues to perpetuate a pottery linked to anthropomorphism, roof ridge finials, large terrine dishes etc. And his trees! They become something mineral after being fired with wood, and they rustle with nostalgia. We can imagine fables, even wolves in this imagined, wooded “Vale of no Return”.

  • Carlo Zauli Italian Artist Abstract Ceramic Sculpture Signed Zauli
    By Carlo Zauli
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Ceramic sculpture by Carlo Zauli from the series "Sphere" done in the circa 1970s. Stoneware and very abstract. Influences of Lucio Fontana are apparent. Exhibited large scale installations during Milan Design Week 2013. Carlo Zauli is indisputably considered one of the most important sculptors of the twentieth century. After having won the main awards in ceramics in the fifties, the early sixties saw him evolve towards a markedly sculptural interpretation of his Craft. In these years he developed his own artistic language, imbued with informal atmospheres intertwined with a harmonious but disruptive "naturalness": these are the years of growing international success. From 1958, the year in which the great high-reliefs were made for the Baghdad palace and the Kuwait State Printing Office, he saw his fame grow continually, up to the end of the seventies and eighties, throughout Europe, Japan , North America, where he realizes exhibitions and placed work permanently. Carlo Zauli was born in 1926 in Faenza, where he died in 2002. Instead of ornate platters and decorative vases, his work seemed to have emerged from the earth itself, with organic curves, jagged edges, cracks and fissures that reflected the artist’s keen connection with nature. It was this passion for the natural world that made his work revered in Japan. Zauli first showed in the Japan as well in 1964 with the International Exhibition of Contemporary Ceramic Art that toured several top museums. At the beginning of 1960s, Carlo Zauli enters an artistic period in which he could be defined 'a sculptor of vases.' He subjects his vases to a progressive process of geometrical synthesis that, combined with a sort of abnormal growth, turns them into true sculptures. His studio receives frequent visits from Arnaldo and Giò Pomodoro, Giuseppe Spagnulo...
