About the Item

Contemporary artists Tom Lollar and Ricardo Arango's Agrippa and Constantine Cube Tables. They are hand-carved marble, coin motif drawings of the Roman General Agrippa and Emperor Constantine resting on welded steel bases. Signed and dated on the marble tops, this pair of tables will ship directly from Tom Lollar's studio in New York. About the artists: Thomas W. Lollar is an internationally renowned sculptor and professor of fine arts whose works are represented in a number of public, corporate, and private collections. Lollar grew up in Detroit and was educated at Western Michigan University, where he earned his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in sculpture, ceramics, and art history. Lollar has taught ceramics and sculpture since 1975 at such prestigious New York institutions as Parsons The New School for Design. He is currently on the faculty of Teachers College - Columbia University. Lollar has received several top-tier honors in his field, including the post of visiting scholar at the American Academy in Rome, a fellowship at the Salzburg Seminar, a fellowship at Jugendstil Design in Austria, and the prestigious Waldo-Sangren Award for Contemporary Ceramics in England. Lollar's work has been featured in gallery exhibitions at Tiffany & Co. and Columbia University and is in the permanent collections of, amongst others, The Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum, New York and The Museum of Arts and Design, New York. Lollar's work has been reviewed in The New York Times and other international arts publications, including Art & Auction and The New York Sun. Ricardo Arango uses various media in his sculptures such as ceramics, glass, marble and steel. Arango sometimes explores the combination of all these different elements in one piece. His work highlights the beauty of each material as he places the diverse materials in unique arrangements. There are soft edges, sharp points, rounded forms, vibrant colors and Arango maintains a steady commitment to composition throughout his process. He says, "The diverse qualities of materials excite my imagination such as the flexibility of clay, the rigidity of metal and the fluid nature of fired glass. I create seeking to explore the visual relationships between the materials in creating new forms." Inspired by the sculpture of Anthony Caro, Louise Nevelson, Omar Rayo and David Smith, Arango creates his own concepts with an underlying interest in uplifting the spirit of his audience.
