Splatter Mugs, 2018
Earthenware ceramics, 8 mugs total.
Peter Shire is an LA-based artist whose work eludes all attempts at categorization. He has created ceramics, furniture, toys, interior designs, and public sculptures that seem to at once reference and parody influences such as Bauhaus, Futurism, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco. This subversive humor and playfulness extend throughout his work and made him a natural fit for the controversial and iconic Milan-based Memphis Design group, of which he was a founding member. A graduate of the famous Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles, Peter Shire has an impressive exhibition record, including solo exhibitions at MOCA Pacific Design Center, The Jewish Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, A+D Museum, and the Santa Monica Museum of Art to name just a few.

Untitled Sculpture, 2018
Ceramic with fired plant matter, 16 x 3 inches, unique edition.
Joseph Sivilli explores matter and its impermanence in the physical universe through the creation of objects of supposed permanence constructed primarily through a process of his own creation that allows him to fire plant matter that he intentionally sprouts in clay. Sivilli chooses clay for its perceived association with earth and the link that humans and other organisms have with this basest, yet most central, substance of the material experience. When he fires his objects, the sprouted plant matter is eerily and delicately frozen in time, and induces observers to encounter and accept the transience and fragility of matter and thus also consider the relatively short experience of biological life. His work has been shown at the Clayarch Gimhae Museum in South Korea, the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Art in Krakow Poland, and the Porsgrunn Porcelain Biennale in Norway.
ICE: A Fragile Force, suite 3, #25, series from 2005-2017.
Photograph, hand applied oil medium, dry carbon pigment, and particles of coal, 14 ½ x 17 ½ inches, signed, titled, numbered, dated and framed.
Although ice has the power to carve through mountains creating prairies and lakes, its strength now diminishes each day as the ice drips away, un-replenished. Near the top of the earth in Greenland and further south in the Antarctic, Morgan photographed this massive elegant, fragile beauty. These photographs continue the degradation of the already distorted images with the addition of hand applied oil medium, dry carbon pigment, and particles of coal.
Tucson-based artist Patricia Carr Morgan's artworks have incorporated photography, mixed media installation, and sculpture and have utilized her toolbox of artistic materials, which include film and digitally captured images, asphalt, neon and coal. She currently has a solo exhibition at the Tucson Museum of Art and her work has previously been shown at the Tampa Museum of Art and the University of Arizona.

Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007) is featured in our exhibition "Dazzled: OMD, Memphis Design and Beyond." He is notably one of the most recognizable names from the visionary Italian design group Olivetti. In 1969 he created the first portable typewriter, The Valentine typewriter, which was one of the most significant moments in the history of design.

His architectural achievements can be seen around the globe, from Tokyo to Zurich.
This print by Ettore Sottsass is a sketch of a piece featured in one of his ceramic shows in Paris, "Reperti del Futuro." Its black and grey palette with a pop of bright pink is bound to be a show-stopper in any setting.

This print by Ettore Sottsass is an example of his architectural prowess, with a touch of his fun and playful aesthetic, if you note the little plane on the top right corner. This is Sottsass's rendition of The Tower of Babel, which came from the biblical origin myth of why we as a global society speak so many languages.

Untitled, 2018
Edition 15 of 30 signed lithograph, 70 x 70 cm.
Olivier Mosset (b. 1944) is a Swiss artist who now works and lives in Tucson. Mosset was a part of the collective BMPT with Daniel Buren, Michel Parmentier, and Niele Toroni. Based out of Paris in the mid-1960s, BMPT represented France's minimalist movement. The 200 or more identical oil paintings that Mosset produced between 1966 and 1974, of a small black circle at the center of a square white canvas, are seen as the acme of BMPT's experimental approaches to painting, which sought to challenge established methods of art-making and theorize a new social and political function for art and artists. Associated with conceptual abstraction, Mosset's works represent pure color and shape, inciting open-ended physical experiences of surface, scale, and pattern.
Mosset's work can be found in the collections of Centre Pompidou, MoMA, Musee de Beaux Arts Switzerland, Migros Museum in Zurich, and the National Gallery of Canada.
Tout Suite 9, ed. 2 of 10, 2011

Louise Fishman's work celebrates process through energetic surfaces of densely layered color and texture.

Widely shown, her work is represented in many collections, including: the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the High Museum of Art; the National Museum of Women in the Arts; and the Jewish Museum. She's received three National Endowment for the Arts grants and a Guggenheim Fellowship. She has had recent solo exhibitions at the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth
College, and the Ringling Museum of Art, and her first retrospective was seen in 2016 at the Neuberger Museum of Art.

Ms. Lanese has exhibited at the Akron Art Museum, the Scope International Art Fair in Basel, Switzerland, and in East Hampton, New York, the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA and at SPACE Gallery in Portland, ME.
