Peter Shire EXP Signed Ceramic Pottery Splatter Mug Cup Sculpture, Early 1980s
About the Item
A fantastic work by famed Los Angeles (Echo Park), California based artist Peter Shire who was a founding member (along with Italian designer Ettore Sottsass and others) of The Memphis Group, an international design movement that came out of Italy during the 1980s (1980-1988), and specialized in postmodern furniture, lighting, fabrics, carpets, ceramics, glass, and metal objects.
This work is from the early 1980s and is signed with Shire's customary "EXP Pottery" (Echo Park Pottery which he started in 1972) seal/stamp on the base. These early works are becoming quite rare and scarce. This piece is from a group of early cup/mug/sculpture works that we acquired and that will all be listed. Each unique and one of a kind.
Would be a great addition to any modern ceramic or California pottery collection or admirers of the artist's work.
