About the Item
A unique and rare piece by influential Mid-Century Modern ceramist Glen Lukens whose work has become very collectible and relatively scarce and difficult to find.
Lukens was the founder of the University of Southern California (USC) Architectural School’s Ceramics Department where he helped establish and promote clay pottery as a universally acceptable art form. The current popularity of Studio Pottery and ceramics is widely accepted to have started with Lukens who is oft credited with being one of the first artists to raise the stature of Mid-Century Modern Studio Pottery within the art world.
Lukens is famed for his experiments with various glazes and glazing techniques. His influence and glazes can be clearly seen in the works of Otto and Gertrud Natzler, Beatrice Wood, James Lovera, etc... Today he is known primarily for his combining of bright, colorful glazes to the rough and raw surfaces of his vessels.
Lukens currently has an award in his name (Glen Lukens Award) at the University of Southern California's School of Fine Arts.
This piece would be a tremendous, Stand out addition to any Mid-Century Modern ceramics collection.
