72 - Gerald Weigel (1925–2020)

Gerald Weigel (1925–2020) Sculpture Glazed stoneware Date of creation: circa 1970 H20 L30 D14 cm Regarded as an influential figure in German studio ceramics, Gerald Weigel developed a distinctive sculptural language over the course of his long career: architectural forms, enclosed volumes, and deliberately irregular surfaces reminiscent of stone or concrete. In this piece, the compact structure of the stoneware, combined with a glaze of subtle hues, creates an almost sculptural presence. Weigel’s works are highly prized for their balance between robustness and refinement, and for their ability to engage with the space as true contemporary objects. An interesting acquisition for collectors seeking striking pieces rooted in the history of 20th-century German ceramics.
