- Lot Description
Chris Gustin (1953; USA)
Vessel
1986
Stoneware; ht. 23, wd. 9.5, dp. 10 in.
Artist signature and date incised on base.
Gustin explores the vessel form on a human scale, transforming simple historical pottery forms through escalating scale as a vehicle for abstraction. Gustin’s ceramics allude to function through the context of the vessel, but speak to a sensual “body” reference. The skin of the clay tautly holds the invisible interior while Gustin’s forms surround and embrace that air, constraining it, enclosing it, or letting it expand, swell, and breathe which in turn allows analogy and metaphor to enter. " Chris Gustin: Masterworks in Clay", a retrospective exhibition co-curated by Sherry Leedy, opened at the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, MA and continues to the Daum Museum in Sedalia, MO.
Provenance: Pro-Art, St. Louis, MOCondition
Two firing cracks, original to piece in the tight "curves" at the base
