About the Item
This work by celebrated artist, Alexander Ney is a masterpiece of fantasy, elaborately decorated with geometric shapes and patterns in multiple colors. Topped by what we see as a Buck Rogers style space ship with a dog-like face. The large size and elaborate construction, all made of fired pottery make this an outstanding example of Ney's fanciful works.
Ney was born in Leningrad in 1939, Alexander Ney belongs to a generation of Soviet nonconformist artists that emerged during the post Stalin era in the late 1950s, championing alternatives to Socialist Realism. Ney’s uniquely individual style started developing while he lived in Russia, continued evolving after his emigration to Paris in 1972, and flourished when he arrived in New York City in 1974. Starting in the 1970s, Ney’s works were feature in many solo shows, as well as select group exhibitions at prestigious galleries in New York as well as international cities. His works are included in museum and private collections all over the world. Additionally, Ney designed windows for Tiffany
Co every year from 1978 to 1994.
