A trio of bottle-shaped vases by Italian ceramicist Bruno Gambone, (circa 1990s). These elegantly shaped narrow-opening flower vases are earthenware elevated to works of art. They are modern square bases with lean necks seemingly however, with origins in primal works. The three differ in size but all are created with what looks like sandstone as a base and an abstract motif consisting of a circle within numerous dark squares culminating in the shape of the vessel itself below the neck. Uncommonly desirable and very collectible, the pieces would be an elegant and stylish addition to your home or office. In good overall condition. This gallery notes Gambone's pieces continue to gain in value year on year. Signed: 'Bruno Gambone Italy'. A video of these pieces may be provided upon request.

About the Artist: The Gambone ceramics have had two very distinct phases of artistic expression in their history. That of Guido Gambone (1909-1969), arguably Italy's most prominent contemporary ceramicist of the 1950s and '60s, and that of his son, Bruno Gambone (1936-2021), who passed away in December of 2021 in Florence, Italy. 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. Subsequently, his ceramic pieces have become internationally collectible works of art and in particular, since his death in 2021, his pieces have seen exuberant demand at auction and in private sales.
