- Lot Description
Claude Conover (1907-1994; USA)
Chapala
ca 1980s
Stoneware; ht. 10, wd. 14, dp. 14 in.
Artist signature and title on base.
A graduate of the Cleveland Art Institute, Conover worked for thirty years as a commercial designer before making his own ceramics. He was potting full-time by 1960 and became a favorite of the leading modern designers of the day who incorporated his work into their interiors. His stylish monumental forms with their hint of antiquity and attractive stone-like surfaces reflect Conover's fascination with the Mayan culture of Central America; lelem caanil is the Mayan name for thunder. This vessel, along with a group of others purchased directly from Conover's studio all bear Mayan names.
