Otto and Vivika Heino Monumental Ceramic Stoneware Pottery Tile Wall Plaque 1988
By Otto and Vivika Heino
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderfully designed and exceptionally rare hand painted, earthenware three tile/panel plaque/ wall hanging by ceramics masters husband and wife artists Vivika and Otto Heino. Quite heavy and substantial in size. The couple was best known for their inspired designs and distinctive glazes. This massive 3 tile plaque, which shows clear signs of Asian influence, is attached to a board for hanging. Again exceptionally rare in both scale and design. We have never seen another like this by the couple. The work is signed and dated (1988). Would be the crown jewel in any Heino collection and sure to stand out in any setting, modern or otherwise. Very unique. Very rare. Dimensions: 47.5" high, 18" wide, 1.5" deep. The piece is quite substantial and weighs 44 pounds. The couple are winners of the following awards: Gold Medal from the sixth Biennale internationale de céramique d'art, in Vallauris, France, (1978). Silver medal from the International Ceramics Exhibitions in Ostend, Belgium, (1959). Their work can be found in the following museums and collections: American Craft Museum, New York City, NY American Museum of Ceramic Art, Pomona, California Ariana Museum, Geneva, Switzerland Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, Arizona Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, Maryland Brunnier Art Museum, Iowa State University, Ames Iowa Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution, New York, New York County Art Museum and Craft Folk Art Museum, Los Angeles, CA Craft and Folk Art Museum, Los Angeles, California Des Moines Art Center, Des Moines, Iowa De Young Museum, San Francisco, CA Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York Fitchburg Art Museum, Fitchburg, Massachusetts Fred Jones, Jr. Museum of Art, The University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma Hartford Jewish Community Center, Hartford, Connecticut Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska Long Beach Museum of Art, Long Beach, California Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Los Angeles, California Memphis College of Art, Memphis, Tennessee Mills College Art Museum, Oakland, California Mingei Museum, San Diego Museum of Art and Design, New York, New York Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA Newark Museum, Newark, New Jersey Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, Utah State University, Logan, Utah Picasso Museum in Vallauris, France St. Paul Gallery, St. Paul, Minnesota Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery, Scripps College, Claremont, California Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC Southern Highland Craft Guild, Asheville, North Carolina Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota, Duluth, Duluth, Minnesota University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, Illinois Ventura County...

An American Civil War Era African American Southern Quilt From the Deep South
Located in Barrington, IL
This extraordinary hand-stitched quilt, dating to the American Civil War era (circa 1860–1870), originates from the deep South—likely Alabama or Georgia—and stands as a powerful example of African American folk artistry during one of the most pivotal periods in American history. Crafted from wool and homespun blankets, the quilt features a striking design of diagonally pieced squares composed of repurposed clothing in shades of navy, brown, red, and gray. These textiles are believed to be remnants of garments worn during the Civil War, transformed through necessity and creativity into a work of enduring beauty and cultural significance. The back of the quilt is made from a bold red and gray striped textile, adding a distinctive visual contrast. Quilts like this—made by African Americans in the Reconstruction-era South—are exceedingly rare and deeply meaningful. They embody both resilience and resourcefulness, and serve as powerful expressions of heritage, survival, and artistic identity. This particular quilt comes from the collection of a Civil Rights attorney who has spent decades practicing in Alabama and Georgia, with a devoted interest in preserving African American folk art from the Civil War era. Its provenance adds another layer of depth and historical significance. Highly collectible and increasingly sought after, 19th-century African American Southern quilts are not only valuable artifacts—they are irreplaceable cultural legacies. Dimensions: 63” x 73” Date of Manufacture: 3rd Quarter of the 1800s Place of Origin: Alabama, United States Material: Cotton, wool Condition: Good The Persian Knot, SKU 1982 African American Quilts...
