Brutalist Earthenware Slab Wall Hanging Sculpture 1970s After Peter Voulkos
About the Item
A total commitment to experimentation with materials. This piece is unsigned, but we note the muscular slab-built Brutalism of this piece and wonder about the influence of American Brutalist sculptor/potters Peter Voulkos and Paul Soldner.
This piece comes from the extensive 1960s, 70s and 80s ceramics collection of an Ikebana enthusiast. Like any good piece of Ikebana pottery, this piece provides raw texture, robust structure and pure materiality. It invites the viewer to consider negative space, shadow and light as part of the arrangement.
Of course this piece of not for the display of flowers, but it does provide opportunity for textural and tonal play wherever it hangs - beside a window, in raking light, hanging vertically or horizontally, on contrasting or on complimentary backgrounds. It has extra thread holes for wall mounting. The raw hide hanger can be unknotted and rethreaded to hang this piece any way up.
This piece has grown on us. It's one of those objects that seems a little odd at first but richly rewards over time, providing hard-to-find originality and integrity.
Final two images show closeups of the apparently repaired areas. These are truly unnoticeable on general inspection.

It can only be detected on very close inspection. Wear consistent with age and use. We are satisfied that the repair on this item was professional and that the item itself was well worth saving in this manner. This piece is not the work of a major artist but is nevertheless very worthwhile as a decorative piece.
