Extra Large Contemporary Ceramic Raw Terracotta Hexagon Planter

BARI ZIPERSTEIN has a dual practice of fine art and a modern design line under BZIPPY & CO based in Los Angeles, California. Born in Chicago, she was raised by design collectors and architecture enthusiasts where they traveled across the U.S. just to find the ideal Bakelite Radio, Boomerang Lamp or 60s ceramic cookie jar. She attended Cal Arts (2004) for her MFA and attended Ohio University (2000) graduating with a BFA in Painting and a Women's Studies Certificate. Currently, she lives and works in Los Angeles with her husband a home brewer/aerospace engineer and their toddler Lawrence. BZIPPY & COMPANY is a design line by artist Bari Ziperstein, made by hand in Montecito Heights, CA in East Los Angeles. Her unique editions of slab built ceramic floral vases, large scale planters, end tables and lamps are inspired by the rich ceramic history of Southern California, Brutalist / Cold War Architecture, Finnish patterns, and the California deserts. Since 2004, she’s been included in prestigious group and solo fine art exhibitions nationally and internationally, many of which were reviewed in the Art Forum, LA Times, New York Times, Architectural Digest, Vogue Australia Home, SightUnseen, and Flash Art. Select exhibitions: Designing Women II (2018) at Egg Collective; Propaganda Pots (2018) at Nino Meir Galery; Fair Trade (2017) at Art, Architecture & Design Museum at UCSB; Vision in Motion (2015) at Curator’s Cube in Tokyo.
