Original box
Condition: Significant chips on back top of vase that are loosely covered with white artist’s tape to give the illusion of unity. This was not visible when hung at very high on the wall (See last group of photographs). When placed off the wall, I set a Beate Kuhn cup and saucer on it to create a new look and cover the damage. Adapted for improvised mounting: A mid-size hole was drilled by hand into one side of the vase to enable experimenting with hanging it flush to the wall without a base, presenting an incongruent, surrealist-like floating effect. While this is an interesting use, please know that it essentially ruins its future value for those who would not want to show it this way.
The Moon collection draws on Asian shadow theater and expresses its effects and related material forms in informal European modernism.
Exhibition: Works from the Moon Collection are included in the following exhibitions:
Best of Both Worlds: ITALY. Arte e Design In Italia 1915 – 2025, ADI Design Museum, Milano, Italy, April 4, 2025 through June 15, 2025.

Note: The vase's narrow shape and reflective glaze work well in New York City spaces.
