Ceramic Art Pottery Floor Vase by Gretchen Wachs
A large ceramic art pottery floor vase by American artist Gretchen Wachs (b. 1952), distinguished by its elongated form and expressive abstract surface.
Broad passages of aqua, coral, pale pink, cream, ochre, black, and green move across the body in layered geometric and gestural compositions. Textured relief, incised details, and shifts in surface treatment give the vase depth and movement, allowing it to read as both a vessel and a work of abstract ceramic art.
Substantial in scale and highly individual, the piece reflects the expressive approach to color, form, and surface associated with late 20th-century American studio pottery.
