2 Peters, 1 booth. — • Foreground: Peter Voulkos, ‘Hans Brinker’, 1958, stoneware • Background and detail in 1st image: Peter Alexander, ‘Heard it Through the Grapevine’, 2019, urethane in 29 parts • Booth: Franklin Parrash (@gallerycookist) at Art Basel Miami Beach 2019 — Peter Voulkos (1924–2002) was an American sculptor of Greek heritage, known for his large clay sculptures cast in bronze. A participant in the resurgence of American studio crafts, he helped change the viewpoint that ceramics were merely utilitarian objects. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For decades, Peter Alexander (1939–) has explored the perceptual limits of space and light through volume and color. As he continues to employ forms both beholden and unbound to the wall, the American artist invents new modes of interpreting these qualities. #artbasel #artbaselmiamibeach #artbaselmiami #sculpture #bronze #ceramics #color #contemporaryart
