David Gilhooly Ceramic Donut Sculpture 1981
Est: $600 - $1,200
David Gilhooly (American, 1943-2013). Small studio ceramic sculpture depicting a realistic chocolate frosted cake donut, 1981. Incised signature and dated "'81" along the underside. Lot Essay: David Gilhooly, a pioneering artist within the Funk Art movement, is renowned for his subversive and inventive approach to ceramics. Emerging in the late 1960s, Funk Art challenged conventional aesthetics and Abstract Expressionism with its embrace of irreverence and satire, aligning seamlessly with Gilhooly's artistic ethos. His work is notably characterized by whimsical and playful visual motifs including anthropomorphic frog figures, fast food, and pastries. Among his most intriguing contributions to the field are his vivid and convincing donut sculptures, which transcend a mere replication of delectable everyday objects. By elevating the commonplace into the realm of high art, Gilhooly not only expanded the expressive potential of ceramics but also redefined the medium's role in contemporary art discourse.
