Bennett Bean - Untitled (Black, White & Brown), Painted Ceramic Vessel Sculpture
An original ceramic vessel by American artist Bennett Bean, featuring a rounded asymmetrical form with a narrow irregular opening and extensively worked surface decoration. The vessel transitions from a deep brown lower body through a warm white central field to a dramatic black upper section, accented by fine red and ochre horizontal lines and small turquoise geometric details. The layered painting, restrained geometry, and atmospheric surface exemplify Bean’s distinctive transformation of the ceramic vessel into a three-dimensional painterly composition. Provenance: From a private estate in West Bloomfield, Michigan. Dimensions: 7.5”h x 8.5” diameter at its widest point with a 3.5” diameter opening. In very good condition. Full condition report available upon request. Bennett Bean (1941–2021) was an American ceramic artist known for transforming the vessel form through elaborate painting, surface treatment, and mixed-media experimentation. Educated at the University of Iowa and Claremont Graduate School, Bean developed a highly individual practice that blurred distinctions between pottery, painting, and sculpture. His work is represented in major museum collections including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Museum of Arts and Design in New York.
