Unframed
This beautiful, limited edition, signed and numbered bowl/plate was handmade in southern Italy by master artiisans near Vietri sul Mare, was designed by renowned American photorealist painter Ralph Goings. In 2000, Buon Ricordo America, Inc. commissioned famous artists to design plates for their flagship restaurants. Goings designed the present work for the renowned NY Italian restaurant Mezzogiorno. Going's design depicts one of the restaurant's signature dishes, Pizza Stromboli Mezzalluna - a subject that lends itself perfectly to the photorealist style. Unfortunately, Mezzogiorno closed its doors on October 14, 2018 -- but you can still enjoy their signature dish with this great Goings artwork! This plate is a real collector's item -- and difficult to find it was created in a limited edition and never mass marketed. The artist's signature is fired into the plate on the front and back and numbered from the limited edition of 510.
These plates were made in conjunction with Buon Ricordo America, Inc., an offshoot of the Italian restaurant union, Boun Ricordo (Unione Ristoranti del Buon Ricordo). The union has a long tradition of commissioning handmade plates that represent the essence of each of their member restaurants by artisans throughout Italy. The plates capture the essence of each restaurant’s local specialty, and the decoration is embellished with references to the restaurant, its local territory and products. The rim of each plate bears the name of the restaurant and the town or village it is in.
Going plate was made from local clay from a quarry in Ogliara, a few kilometres from Vietri. After biscuit firing they are coated and decorated by hand by skilled craftsmen using a carbon “dusting” technique similar to that once used for Renaissance fresco painting. Once the plates were decorated they are glazed and fired for a second time to fix their vivid colors. In the early 2000s, Buon Ricordo America, Inc. collaborated with some of America's most prominent artists to make a series of plates for iconic restaurants throughout the United States.
The back of the plate reads as follows:
"Limited edition designed by the artist to benefit charitable organizations dedicated to feeding needy home-bound elderly persons and helping children at risk from abuse and disease."
"The artist does not derive any income from the sale of this plate."
"Microwave, oven and dishwasher safe."
"Printed by Decoritalia"
"Made in Italy"
More about Ralph Goings:
Ralph Goings (born 1928) is an American Photorealist painter whose pioneering work helped to establish the movement on the West Coast. Goings’ carefully selected scenes—replete with detail—focus the viewer’s attention on the tactile qualities of diners, pickup trucks, and tabletop objects. His paintings reflect a rigorous attention to process applied to an everyday aesthetic.
Goings’ interior scenes read as a vast landscape of meticulously rendered surfaces while his more intimate depictions of tabletops represent a poetic rendering of quotidian sensibilities. The uncanny reflections of light in Goings’ images suggest a slightly detached quality, as if caught in a moment of contemplative silence.

Ralph Goings
Ralph Goings (1928 – 2016) is an American painter closely associated with the Photorealism movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. He is best known for his highly detailed paintings of hamburger stands, pick-up trucks, and California banks, portrayed in a deliberately objective manner. Goings said of his choice to work in a photorealistic style when he returned to painting: "In 1963 I wanted to start painting again but I decided I wasn't going to do abstract pictures. It occurred to me that I should go as far to the opposite as I could. ... It occurred to me that projecting and tracing the photograph instead of copying it freehand would be even more shocking. To copy a photograph literally was considered a bad thing to do. It went against all of my art school training... some people were upset by what I was doing and said 'it's not art, it can't possibly be art'. That gave me encouragement in a perverse way, because I was delighted to be doing something that was really upsetting people... I was having a hell of a lot of fun..."

Makes a terrific gift. This beautiful, limited edition, extremely rare, plate signed and numbered bowl/plate was handmade in southern Italy by master artisans near Vietri sul Mare. The edition is 510 - but the reason one rarely sees this on the market is because only about half that amount were said to have been created, and the remaining ones were lost after 9/11; the plan was to create a second batch after these sold out. That was in the year 2000. Then in 2001 terrorists struck the World Trade Center. All marketing efforts ceased. It is not even known if the other plates from this edition are still around - but they are rarely found on the marketplace. It was designed by the internationally renowned American artist Peter Halley. In 2000, Buon Ricordo...
