Ceramic Sculpture -- Circle #12/Circulo #12

Circa 2007

About the Item

This contemporary sculpture is realized in a primitivist mode. The sculpture will remind the viewer of an ancient or pre-historic figure, an impression reinforced by the blue-grey texture of the piece itself. Raul Acero is a sculptor and ceramic artist born in Bogota, Colombia, and raised in New York City. In his work, Acero is drawn to ancient figures and people throughout history. He is a Professor of Art at the University of Redlands in California, and exhibits regularly.

  • "Be My Guest", Figurative Porcelain Sculpture, Dynamic Composition, Glaze
    By SunKoo Yuh
    Located in St. Louis, MO
    The ceramic sculptures of SunKoo Yuh are composed of tight groupings of various forms including plants, animals, fish, and human figures. While Korean art, Buddhism, and Confucian beliefs inform some aspects of his imagery, implied narratives that often suggest socio-political critiques largely drive his work. Yuh is currently Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, Athens, GA. The Rubin Center has exhibited two monumental columns that showcase Yuh’s mastery of his complex narratives and the ceramic medium. Yuh’s work is included in the collections of the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC, The Philadelphia Museum of Art and The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, among others. Honors and awards he has received include the Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant, the Grand Prize at the 2nd World Ceramic Biennale International Competition, Icheon, Korea, The Elizabeth R. Raphael Founder’s Prize, and the Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant. Selected Public Collections Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.
