Creator: Marcello Fantoni
Offered by: Pavilion Antiques and 20thc

Description
Signed large abstract ceramic studio sculpture by Italian artist Marcello Fantoni.
An abstract shaped rare ceramic form with a white gray slightly tinged with blue glaze which Fantoni often used on his studio sculptures.
Signed Fantoni 1974. The sculpture is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or restorations.
It is mounted on a white marble base that shows two minor chips shown.
Born in Florence on October 1, 1915, Marcello Fantoni registered at the Institute of Art at Porta Romana in 1927 to attend the course The Art of Ceramics, which at that time was taught by the ceramist Carlo Guerrini, artistic director of the Cantagalli factory.
Other teachers also contributed to his artistic formation including Libero Andreotti and Bruno Innocenti in sculpture and Gianni Vagnetti in the figure. Other influences certainly were Lucio Fontana.
He graduated in '34 as a 'maestro' of art, and began working as a ceramist. In 1936, after having worked for a few months as the artistic director of a factory in Perugia, he established himself in the stables of Villa Fabbricotti in Florence and established the Fantoni Ceramic studio.
Fantoni died in 2011.

Message from Seller:

Pavilion is the collective vision of Deborah Colman and Neil Kraus, both graduates of the master of fine arts program at the Art Institute of Chicago. From a longstanding interest in art and design, frequent buying trips to France and Italy have influenced the direction of the gallery to offer items that are not easily sourced in Chicago and United States. Postwar design has been the focus for 18 yrs and we also look forward to new design that crosses boundaries and dialogues as well to the past
