Peter Shire Ceramic Studio Pottery Modern Sottsass Memphis Vintage Sculpture

PROVENANCE: PRIVATE COLLECTION OF DR STEPHEN A. DIMENSIONS: 6H x 2.5D x 2.5W. 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. In addition to many group shows, his works have been exhibited in numerous solo shows, in his hometown, Los Angeles, nationally and internationally in Milan, Paris, Tokyo and Sapporo. Shires works are in many public collections and museums in the U. Shire is represented by Kayne Griffin Corcoran.

Furth and Sean Yashar, celebrating the iconic, Los Angeles-based artists chromatic works and significant contributions to dismantling 20th century hierarchies between decorative and fine arts.
