Big-A, Peter Voulkos, 1990, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Decorative Arts, Textiles and Sculpture

massive jar with bell-shaped body and large neck; slashes, gouges, holes and misshapen areas throughout; brown and tan glaze Big-A represents Peter Voulkos at his most physical. One of his stacks, so named because he literally stacks thrown cylinders atop one another, it is made from approximately two hundred and fifty pounds of clay. Like his plates, the stacks are thick, irregular, and visibly manipulated; here Voulkos claws through the leather-hard clay to create vertical and diagonal lines from top to bottom. The massive walls give the stacks more stability to survive the long days of high temperatures in the wood fired tunnel kiln (anagama in Japanese), where they emerge with their distinctive ash-fired glaze. Voulkos was introduced to wood-firing in 1978, when Peter Callas, a young artist who had studied the ancient technique in Japan, approached him about a collaboration, sensing that Voulkos's rugged forms were well-suited to earthy ash-fired glazes. After experiencing the resulting serendipity of the process--moderated by Callas's knowledge about placement and firing--Voulkos preferred the wood-fire technique for his later works. Size: 34 x 18 x 19 in. (86.4 x 45.7 x 48.3 cm) Medium: Wood-fired stoneware

OPEN TODAY 12-4PM. BACK IN THE BOOKSHOP: PETER VOULKOS "Retrospective" (1995) Published in conjunction with the 1995 touring Japanese Museum retrospective of work by the pioneering late artist/ceramicist Peter Voulkos, this is the beautifully designed and printed first-edition Japanese catalogue from the Sezon Museum of Art, Tokyo (Jan 2 – Feb 20, 1995) and The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto. (Feb 28 – April 2, 1995), which comes housed in an elegant printed cardboard slipcase. A very rare volume, and in our opinion the most stunning of books on the work of Peter Voulkos. Profusely illustrated with wonderful colour photo documentation of his many works, accompanied by an essay by Rose Slivka. In 1954, Voulkos founded the Ceramic Center at Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, which gave birth to the West Coast Abstract Expressionist ceramics movement. He later became a highly influential educator at UC Berkeley while continuing a vital career that included work in bronze sculpture and wood-fired stoneware. One copy in the bookshop today and via our website. #worldfoodbooks #petervoulkos (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)
