About

An exceptionally rare and fine early piece by famed American ceramist Beatrice Wood featuring a dynamic and unique design. The colors illuminate like stained glass under the glaze when lit. Signed by Wood on underside with her early signature "BEA". Provenance: Originally gifted by Beato to Elizabeth Wilbur Stewart (Ojai, CA), both were close personal friends in Southern California. Would be an amazing and rare addition to any collection of her work or a fabulous stand alone piece in any setting. Know famously in the arts world as "The Mama of Dada", Wood lived a long (1893-1998) and very fruitful, creative life and is consider by many experts and collectors alike to have been a centerpiece in the modern ceramic art movement of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. At one point in her career, Wood studied with master potters Otto and Gertrud Natzler and later become famed in her own right for her distinct luster glazing techniques. In 1994, the Smithsonian Institution named Wood an "Esteemed American Artist". Her other awards include: 1994 Governor’s Awards for the Arts (California) 1993 Recognition as A Role Model by Women in Film 1992 Gold Medal for Highest Achievement in Craftsmanship, American Craft Council 1988 Distinguished Service Award, Arizona State University 1987 Fellow of American Craft Council Women’s Art Caucus, National Award (NCECA Award) 1986 Women’s Building Award 1984 Living Treasure of California 1983 Symposium Award of the Institute for Ceramic History 1961 Goodwill Ambassador from USA to India – exhibition and lecture tour Her works can be found in many prominent collections and museums including: Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, Arizona Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, New York Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Charles A.
