Claude Conover Vase, Ceramic, Signed "Hopci"
About the Item
Claude Conover vase, ceramic, signed. Large hand built stoneware vase decorating with hatching and scratching patterns. An incised line divides the two patterns. These decorative elements often produced an effect of Prehistoric script or drawings. Signed: Hopci on the underside. We purchased the vessel from the original owner.
As a member of the Cleveland School, Conover (1907-1994), worked for 30 years as a commercial designer before turning to ceramics full time in the 1960s. During his lifetime, his hand built stoneware pots were exhibited in many museums, galleries and arts centers around the USA, some traveling internationally. Since his death, appreciation for his work has steadily grown.

- Claude Conover Ceramic Stoneware Vessel Signed "Comitan" Inscribed DecorationsBy Claude ConoverLocated in Bloomfield Hills, MISALE ONE WEEK ONLY "Comitan" is a stoneware vessel, 1980s, with a handsome elongated neck and full-body. The surface has a rich warm patina with cryptic scratches, stripes and hatchings marking the body. This gorgeous piece is a perfect example of Conover's best work. Claude Conover was a ceramic sculpture artist described as falling within the styles of American, Modern and Contemporary Design. In 1983 he won The Cleveland Arts Prize competition in the visual arts for his bold and unique ceramic pieces that reflect strength of form and endurance unusual in the field. Using his own clay stoneware and mostly monochromatic colors, Conover decorated the surfaces with cryptic scratches, stripes and hatchings. Although decorative in intent, the indecipherable incised lines on his ceramics suggest some prehistoric unreadable script. The resultant works evoke a timeless monumentality reminiscent of ancient vessels whose utilitarian purpose is now lost to us. Within this limited repertoire, he produced beautiful, eternal works of art. Although Conover’s large impressive pots are his best work, he also made other forms, such as bowls, lamps, and ceramic animal sculpture. Conover was born in Pittsburgh and educated at the Cleveland Institute of Art, where a number of prominent artists also attended: Brian Michael Bendis, Marc...Category
