Ceramic Art Pottery Vase by Gretchen Wachs, 1988
Large ceramic art pottery vase by American artist Gretchen Wachs (b. 1952), signed and dated 1988.
The vase is defined by an angular, asymmetrical profile and a richly worked surface combining geometric abstraction with expressive color. Pale aqua, blush, coral, cream, black, and muted green move across the form in layered passages of glaze, line, and textured relief.
Its architectural silhouette and painterly surface transform the traditional vessel into a highly individual work of late 20th-century American studio pottery.
