Postmodern Art Pottery Ceramic Vase with Abstract Decor by Pino Castagna, 1980s

About the Item

This postmodern vase, which shape reminds of a top hat, has been crafted by the Italian artist Pino Castagna in the 1980s. It is decorated with strong oxyde enamels with vivid colors. It's signed and labeled under the base. 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.
