About the Item

Ceramic Sculpture designed by Gino Marotta for Superego Editions. Signed. Prototype. Biography Gino Marotta (Campobasso, 1935 – Rome, 2012) was an italian painter and sculptor. After an initial period of original overcoming of the Informal art, in the early 1960 he began research on the dynamic synthesis between figuration, language and codes; subsequently he shows an increasingly marked attention to new chemical/industrial materials and, specifically, to methacrylate. This artist poetically uses this hyper-technological material, obtaining lyrical universes populated by trees and animals, lightning, and starry skies, as in the famous installation Bosco naturale-artificiale (Natural-artificial Forest) presented in Foligno in 1967. In the 1980s, Gino Marotta returned to more “traditional” materials and techniques, including painting. The artist actively participated in and planned some of the most famous exhibitions in the panorama of the Italian neo-avant-garde, including "Lo Spazio dell'Immagine" (1967), "Amore Mio" (1970) and "Vitalità del Negativo" (1970). Furthermore, in 1968 he was present in exhibitions such as the "Teatro delle Mostre" at the Galleria La Tartaruga, "Arte Povera+Azioni povere", curated by Germano Celant and in other relevant venues such as the Venice Biennale, the MoMA, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and, lastly, the solo show at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome (2012).

Ceramic Centerpiece by Carlo Zauli from Faenza, Italy 1970
By Carlo Zauli
Located in Milan, Italy
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...

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...

Giacomo Onestini ceramic sculpture Italy 1970
By Giacomo Onestini
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Beautiful ceramic sculpture designed by Giacomo Onestini made in his own atelier in Italy in 1970. It has a combination of matte and shiny glazed surfaces. The back and sides of the sculpture have a textured surface with shades of gray, green, and sometimes turquoise. On the front, there's a carved-out section that's smooth and glazed with red and gold hues. It's a very appealing and intriguing piece. You can find the artist's signature, "Onestini," on the side of the sculpture. This piece was created in the artist's personal studio. Very nice large sized, heavy piece and in excellent condition. After graduating as a master ceramist, Onestini moved to San Marino where he found employment at the "Marmaca" ceramics factory. Around the end of the 1950s, he moved to Salerno and began working with the "Ernestine...
