1970s Colourful Abstract Glazed Tiles in Aluminium Frame Signed Rachel Savir
About the Item
An attractive abstract decorated tile artwork, framed in hardwood and brushed aluminium. Signed by Rachel Savir, ceramicist, active Israel 1970s.
Bold colours in thick textured and glossy glazes are emblazoned on a set of nine tiles to form an abstract image. This is mounted on board and framed in stained hardwood, with a lightly brushed aluminium box frame.
Being glazed, the colours are saturated and vibrant and will not fade. If you have a sunny spot that needs some decoration, these are perfect. They won't suffer for being in direct sunlight.
Rachel Savir built bold abstract forms. There is a companion work or pair to this one in our listings.
This work was part of a large collection of ceramics by a noted Melbourne collector. This one was purchased in Israel during the 1970s, you can see our other listings for more midcentury ceramics and art from this collection.
Savir was part of the return to traditional ceramic arts in Israel during the 1960s and 1970s. During this time women started group studios, exhibiting work together and selling domestic pottery to fund studio costs. Savir was likely one of these women and this work was purchased alongside others from a group studio setting.
The aim of early potters in Israel was to 'recenter' ceramics as a domestic craft, to relearn traditional techniques from ancient pots found in archeological digs and to use locally sourced materials. During the later sixties and seventies, potters aimed to extend their practice from this traditional base into more modernist, abstract and decorative forms. Ceramics was seen as a kind of rediscovered folk art if you will, but once established it could be used more expressively and with more artistic freedom.
