About the Item
Angelo Bragalini was born in 1913 and raised in Bologna. He studied architecture, fine and applied arts in Rome, Venice and Firenze. His talent and passion for sculpture were quickly recognized and won him important commissions throughout his career. Aside from sculpture and graphics, Bragalini also focused on metalwork and was a proficient goldsmith. Technical skill and artistic flair are both characteristic of his highly expressive pieces. One of his most famous admirers was the film director Federico Fellini, who commissioned the artist to create about thirty sculptures and set pieces for iconic films. He was awarded first prizes for goldsmithery in Firenze: he made gold work for the Vatican. Despite his fame, Bragalini preferred to continue working out of the public eye in Bologna, where he died in 1994.
The process of hand hammering the copper gives this tray a sense of authenticity and craftsmanship, highlighting the malleability and intrinsic beauty of the material. The brutalist style, popular in the mid-20th century with designs that celebrate the intrinsic qualities of the materials used, the hammered copper surfaces create visual interest through their texture and play of light, while the organic shapes evoke a sense of natural fluidity and of movement.
Engraved sign under the base.

Joel Edwards Signed Mid-Century Modern Brutalist California Studio Pottery Vase
By Joel Edwards
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderfully designed, quite heavy brutalist sculptural vase by famed American California potter, Joel Edwards. This piece features a sumptuous glaze of varying dark and shimmering colors.
Edwards was a student of Peter Voulkos at Otis. He also studied under Marguerite Wildenhain and Shoji Hamada.
This quite solid vase (likely 10-12 pounds) is signed by Edwards on the base.
Would make for a great addition to any Mid-Century Modern pottery collection or eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting.
Edward's works can be found in many private collections and museums including:
American Museum of Ceramic Art, Ponoma, California
Long Beach Museum of Art, Long Beach, California
Scripps College, Claremont...
