Postmodern Art Pottery Ceramic Cachepot by Pino Castagna, 1980s

About the Item

This striking 1980s cache-pot was crafted by Italian artist Pino Castagna in his own workshop. Large in size, with a powerful abstract decor with vivid and bright oxide enamels. Signed and labeled, remains in very good conditions. Pino Castagna, a sculptor and a versatile designer who also worked with glass, bronze, cast iron, steel and cement, in his ceramic production has devoted himself above all to colour experimentation in decoration, abstract but with strong natural references, often in very intense tones. Having started out from initiatives that gave his artistic work a strong social connotation, conducting workshops with prisoners and psychiatric hospital patients in the 1950s, he went on to become one of the leading names in Italian sculpture and to create works of large dimensions, up to six metres in height, designed to be placed outdoors and to be 'animated' by the weather. Nevertheless, throughout the course of his career, Castagna continued to devote himself to the production of everyday ceramic objects, such as plates, vases and jugs, but also to small works such as the "Vases open on one side" that are all unique sculptures.
