Bruno Gambone

Marvellous set of two oval bottles made by the multi-talented artist Bruno Gambone in 1980, varying in height but the width is the same. The vases come in a warm sand tone, on the body a border in a fresh blue and green sea tone. A beautiful contrast. Gambone began experimenting with canvas and fabrics in the 1950s and developed his signature style that reminds of Lucio Fontana. In the early 1960s he set up in New York where he frequented the likes of Rauschenberg, Nevelson, Stella, Lichtenstein and Warhol. As well as painting and sculpture, he also worked in theatre and cinema, turning to ceramics and design later in his life.
