Ivo Sassi, tall vase in glazed majolica, Faenza, Italy, late 1950s

Creator: Ivo Sassi
Offered by: Blend Roma

Description
Ivo Sassi (1937 - 2020) was born in Brisighella, Italy, in 1937. In 1950 he began attending the Istituto Statale d'Arte per la Ceramica in Faenza and had sculptors Anselmo Bucci and Angelo Biancini as teachers and Nanni Valentini and Carlo Negri as colleagues. In 1954 he worked in Carlo Zauli's workshop, a relationship that ended in 1959, when he opened a personal studio in Faenza. In 1965 he created three large polychrome majolica panels for the motor ships "Angelina" and "Achille Lauro". However, it is from 1965 that his work acquires a precise physiognomy and a formal autonomy: until 1971 he develops the Era Tecnologica cycle, using mainly white majolica and, from this date, he begins the ET Genesi cycle in which he fuses geometric elements and a largely informal organicism using the colour black, gold and third-fire platinum finishes.
He died in July 2020.
