Peter Voulkos was an American ceramic artist born on January 1924, who was known for his unique and abstract expressions through his pieces. He was born and raised in Boseman, Montana and studied paintings and ceramics while attending college. He obtained his MFA in Ceramics and started his career in making dinnerware and pottery. He had his own ceramics department in USC Berkley, and then went on to create works in sculpture and stoneware. He has many products inducted into many museums and became popular for his style. He won 3 prizes over his lifetime for his works and had over 15 public collections along the United States, Australia, and Tokyo. Peter passed away on February 2002, and his legacy is still present. Pictured above is one of his works called the "Early Peter Voulkos Stack" which was picked of its intricate designs and symbols. It gave me tribal vibes which is very appealing to the eye for me and also very popular among art in the 21st century. It was made in 1955 and there are no current sales for it in the market.
