Georgia Box ceramic white / Porcelain - Breasts in relief - Jonathan Adler

Coming from the Muse collection by Jonathan Adler, this box pays homage to the American painter Georgia O'Keeffe, who was the wife and muse of the photographer, Alfred Stieglitz. Sculptural and unusual, this box has a surprising collection of white porcelain breasts. These human-body fragments, showcased as completed, have an extraordinary expressive force. These separated body parts stimulate the imagination and invite us to recompose the world that the fragment comes from, to reform the complete body. The pieces from the Muse collection have the particularity of bringing out in relief, poetically and surreally, body parts borrowed from these idealised women whom our greatest artists took as their muses. Each piece is made of unglazed porcelain, with a matt finish that enhances the effect produced by the 3D pattern. Ceramicist, designer and internationally renowned interior designer, Jonathan Adler first became passionate about terracotta and exhibited his first pottery collection at Barneys in New York in 1993. "Earth is the basis of my work and will always be" affirms Jonathan Adler. For each ceramic piece from the collection, a prototype is made by hand in Jonathan Adler's workshop located in the achingly hip SoHo neighbourhood of New York.
