An extraordinary and unique terracotta sculpture, crafted by the renowned ceramic artist Alessio Tasca in his own atelier in Nove, Italy, in 1984, stands as a true testament to his mastery. This large, striking piece captivates with its bold, abstract form, reminiscent of the avant-garde spirit of the Zero group. Crafted from black-glazed terracotta, its dynamic, fluid shape gives a remarkable sense of movement, engaging the viewer from every perspective. A particularly intriguing detail is the red terracotta subtly emerging through the glaze, adding depth and character to the sculpture. Beyond its artistic brilliance, what makes this piece truly special is its provenance. Unlike Tasca’s usual smaller multiples, this is a one-of-a-kind work, created as a personal gift for dear friends. Signed and dated on the back, this collector’s dream carries both artistic and sentimental significance. It has been preserved in its original condition, making it a standout addition to any collection or interior. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
