336 - Ru de Boer (1920–2010)

Ru de Boer (1920–2010) Sculptures Ceramics 1970 H15 D15 cm H21 D13 cm A Dutch ceramicist, Ru de Boer belonged to the postwar generation that liberated Dutch studio ceramics from their utilitarian function, transforming them into a form of sculptural expression. These two pieces from 1970, of similar sizes, complement each other in their volumes and can be displayed together in dialogue. They reflect an era when European ceramics were opening up to abstraction and free forms, following in the wake of modern sculpture. A representative collection of Dutch ceramics from the 1970s.
