Small Vintage Italian Ceramic Dish by Bruno Gambone, 1980s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Italian ceramic decorative dish by Bruno Gambone (circa 1980s) - small. A unique ceramic which, at first glance, one may attribute to the work of Bruno's father, Guido. The colourful geometric motifs are rather unusual for Bruno but the speckled oatmeal hued background and maker's mark on the underside puts it firmly in his body of work. There is much beauty and masterful technique apparent in this fascinating piece. The tray is visually appealing and tactile at the same time and, our gallery has another piece of the same size with a more abstract motif reminiscent of Japanese works available on this platform. They are both serious works of art from the highly collectible master ceramicist from Florence, Italy, Bruno Gambone. In very good overall condition. Signed on underside: 'Gambone - Italy'. Upon request, a video will be provided. About the Artist : The Gambone ceramics have had two very distinct phases of artistic expression in their history. That of Guido Gambone (1909-1969), arguably Italy's most prominent contemporary ceramicist of the 1950s and '60s, and that of his son, Bruno Gambone (1936-2021), who passed away in December of 2021 in Florence, Italy. The father's work was more exuberant and colourful. Bruno, who returned to Florence in 1969 to keep the ceramic studio running after his father died, became intent on expressing his own very different artistic vision. For the most part, his work was influenced by '60s and '70s minimalist art. The forms are more rectilinear, the decoration very simple and the tones muted. During a stint in New York, Bruno spent time with the likes of Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, and gained much experience in the fields of painting, sculpture, cinema and theatre. Subsequently, h is ceramic pieces have become internationally collectible works of art and in particular, since his death in 2021, his pieces have seen exuberant demand at auction and in private sales.
