Ettore Sottsass Shiva Vase:
$350.00
Original production, 1973
In good original condition with wear consistent with age and use preserving a beautiful patina.
This vase serves as a modern interpretation of the phallic-shaped linga form that symbolized Shiva in the Hindu religion. Sottsass, one of the most important Italian designers of the 20th century, was deeply impacted by religion and religious symbolism during his journeys to India in the 1960s. This piece displays Sottsass's penchant for adopting, but at the same time subverting, traditional forms. The hot pink color, while seemingly inconsistent with the somber nature of a religious object, reflects Sottsass's fascination with the bright colors that pervade both the clothing and the architecture of India, which he incorporated into his architectural projects as well.
