He studied ceramics at the Konstfack School of Arts, Crafts, and Design in Stockholm, then spent two years at the School for Advanced Industrial Design. His love of ceramics took him the Los Angeles for a position with HAL Fromholt Ceramics, and soon he was meeting artists, critics, and gallery owners, attending events at California universities, and exhibiting his ceramics.

Unique Bronze Sculpture by Leo Laukkanen Sweden 1960 Signed
Located in Paris, FR
Unique bronze sculpture by Leo Laukkanen Sweden 1960
Nice patina, good condition. More photos available
Leo Olavi Laukkanen (11 October 1913 Helsinki - 1 November 1978 Helsinki) was a Finnish sculptor. He is particularly known for his abstract miniature sculptures, most of which are made of granite.
Laukkanen studied at the Central School of Art and Design from 1931 to 1933. Although the best-known part of Laukkanen's output consists of abstract sculptures, in the early and late stages of his career he also made figurative sculptures in both stone and bronze, including female figures. In 1980, Helsinki Art Hall hosted an extensive memorial exhibition of Laukkanen's works, which he had bequeathed to the Finnish Artists' Association.
Laukkanen was an assistant to the sculptor Wäinö Aaltonen...

Senufo Pulley with Bird Head Finial in Wood
Located in New York, NY
Senufo Pulley with Bird Head Finial in Wood
This a well worn figurative pulley from the estate of Catherine Cline (née Crone, 1935-2020). Cline began collecting African art in the early 1960s in New York City through a friend, Thomas McNemar, then freshly back in the United States from years in Cote d’Ivoire. McNemar’s tenure in West Africa had been devoted to field collecting. His specialty was heddle pulleys, of which he amassed a collection of several hundred, in addition to the ones he sold to the likes of JJ Klejman, Julius Carlebach and, indirectly, Harold Rome. A graduate of the University of Chicago and the Illinois Institute of Technology, Cline began her career as a costume designer for theater before refocusing her energies as a fiber and book artist. She was an avid collector of small, mostly utilitarian objects of exceptional form. Cline and McNemar remained in touch at least through the 2000s, when both were still occasional clients of mine.
This example was acquired by Cline directly from McNemar in the early 1960s. Its tippy original base, fabricated by a brother of Thomas McNemar, has been replaced.
