Ceramic two-toned horse by ceramicist Bruno Gambone, (circa 1970s). A charming ceramic parade horse with groomed mane and tail in Gambone's signature chalk-white glaze. The glaze is beautifully complemented by chocolate-brown markings on the horse's side and face. Extremely desirable and very collectible, this earthenware piece would be an elegant and stylish addition to your home or office. In excellent vintage condition. Signed: 'Gambone'. Another ceramic horse from this series is available for sale as a pair.

About the Artist: The Gambone ceramics have had two very distinct phases of artistic expression in their history. That of Guido Gambone, arguably Italy's most prominent contemporary ceramicist of the 1950s and '60s, and that of his son, Bruno Gambone, who is still at work. The father's work was more exuberant and colourful. Bruno, who returned to Florence in 1969 to keep the ceramic studio running after his father died, became intent on expressing his own very different artistic vision. For the most part, his work was influenced by '60s and '70s minimalist art. The forms are more rectilinear, the decoration very simple and the tones muted. During a stint in New York, Bruno spent time with the likes of Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, and gained much experience in the fields of painting, sculpture, cinema and theatre. His ceramic pieces have become internationally collectible works of art.
