About the Item
We try not to use the term "museum quality" often but in the case of his particular work, it is more than apt.
A simply breathtaking piece by famed American ceramicist Beatrice Wood featuring a gorgeous, highly coveted luster glaze and a wonderful design accentuated with a number of whimsical figurative characters.
Signed by Beatrice in her customary "Beato" on the underside of the base.
Would be an amazing addition to any Mid-Century Modern pottery collection or personal collectors of her work - a fabulous stand-alone, mesmerizing piece in any setting. This is simply the best piece of Beatrice Wood's we have come across.
Know famously in the art world as "The Mama of Dada", Wood lived a long (1893-1998) and very fruitful, creative life and is considered by many experts and collectors alike to have been a centerpiece in the modern ceramic art movement of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. At one point in her career, Wood studied with master potters Otto and Gertrud Natzler and later become famed in her own right for her distinct luster-glazing techniques. In 1994, the Smithsonian Institution named Wood an "Esteemed American Artist".
Her other awards include:
1994 Governor’s Awards for the Arts (California)
1993 Recognition as A Role Model by Women in Film
1992 Gold Medal for Highest Achievement in Craftsmanship, American Craft Council
1988 Distinguished Service Award, Arizona State University
1987 Fellow of American Craft Council Women’s Art Caucus, National Award (NCECA Award)
1986 Women’s Building Award
1984 Living Treasure of California
1983 Symposium Award of the Institute for Ceramic History
1961 Goodwill Ambassador from USA to India – exhibition and lecture tour
