The lower section carries a series of lines dripping toward the base like soft caramel. Although it features a modern rectangular base and lean, elongated neck, its shape and finish have their origins in early works. Its elegant, simple lines also draw inspiration from the world of Zen making this piece exceptionally desirable and very collectible. This graceful, narrow-opening single-flower vase is a sculptural work of art. An earthenware piece such as this one would be an elegant and stylish addition to your home or office. In very good overall condition. Signed: 'Gambone Italy' on the underside. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. About the Artist : The Gambone ceramics have had two very distinct phases of artistic expression in their history. That of Guido Gambone, arguably Italy's most prominent contemporary ceramicist of the 1950s and '60s, and that of his son, Bruno Gambone, who is still at work. The father's work was more exuberant and colourful. Bruno, who returned to Florence in 1969 to keep the ceramic studio running after his father died, became intent on expressing his own very different artistic vision. For the most part, his work was influenced by '60s and '70s minimalist art. The forms are more rectilinear, the decoration very simple and the tones muted. During a stint in New York, Bruno spent time with the likes of Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, and gained much experience in the fields of painting, sculpture, cinema and theatre. His ceramic pieces have become internationally collectible works of art. Dimensions : H 37 cm / 14.6" W 8.3 cm / 3.3" D 6.5 cm / 2.6" See less
