About the Item

A wonderful and scarce 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 signed and dated (1982) by Shire on the base. These early works are becoming quite rare and scarce - especially his unique and one-of-a-kind splatter pieces. Would be a great addition to any modern ceramic or California Pottery collection or admirers of the artist's work or eye-catching stand-alone piece in about any setting. Shire's work can be found in many prominent collections and museums including: Archer M.
