This porcelain bisque vase, titled “Marcel Tank Top,” captures the iconic silhouette of the famous men's undershirt with a realism that is both surprising and poetic.

Artist's label.

Created in the 1980s, it perfectly illustrates the pop and ironic spirit of that era, when design played with the codes of the mundane to create works of art in their own right.
The matte texture of the bisque highlights the finesse of the craftsmanship and the details of the textile, while the elongated shape lends the piece an elegant strangeness.

A collector's item that is as minimalist as it is audacious, perfect for a contemporary interior, a gallery, or a collection of postmodern ceramics. This piece has an attribution mark,
