Ceramic wall relief by Carlo Zauli, Italy 1960s
Unique sculptural ceramic wall relief by Carlo Zauli (Faenza 1926–2002), Italy, 1960s. Exceptional and expressive amorphous-shaped relief in the beautiful signature "Bianco Zauli" color with brown accents. The work is mounted in a matching solid Wengé wooden frame. The relief creates a beautiful play of light and shadow due to its deep forms and glazed finish. Zauli’s work is characterized by organic forms, tactile surfaces, and a subtle interplay of light and shadow. He is considered one of the most important figures of the Italian ceramic avant-garde of the 20th century. His work is included in the collections of prestigious museums such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto. Signed in the lower right corner: Zauli. In excellent condition.
