About the Item

Entropy a compelling and unique bust by American Ceramic Arist, Bedford, c. 1960's. Expertly handcrafted earthenware, stains, oxides. "I use the word entropy as a metaphor for change. Entropy is also a part of human nature, in that we all express an unwavering desire to leave our mark on the world over time. The act of doing so, in essence, is a form of entropy. My goal with this body of work is to create a sculpture that reflect this process and celebrate the beauty inherent in impermanence."

'Bucchero' Ceramic Bust Italian, 1950s
By Gio Ponti
Located in Meer, VAN
'Bucchero' female head / bust attributed to Giò Ponti and Carlo Alberto Rossi. Mid 20th century, Italy. This is a rare and marvelous little mid century ceramic head / bust by Carlo Alberto Rossi after a design attributed to Giò Ponti. Very stylistic and elegant. The ceramic gets its characteristic black color through a special process in which the oxygen is removed from the red clay. So no paint or varnish is used. This is a technique that dates back to the Etruscans. Many works by Carlo Alberto Rossi and his brother – with whom he collaborated – have the characteristic black color. The Rossi brothers collaborated with the famous architect and designer Gio Ponti. Several of his designs – including this head – were executed in the Rossi’s studio. The collaboration was a great success. Some of the works were also shown at the IX Triennale of Milan in 1951. Please note we have a selection of 'Bucchero' pieces by Gubbio artists C. A. Rossi, Sebastiani and Elio Cerbella...
