Lot Report

Note:

Masatado Funo was born in Seattle, Washington, of Japanese descent. He pursued graduate studies in Clinical Psychology at the University of Chicago in the 1960’s. He was interested in the patterns along which human beings develop, which has translated into his artwork, more specifically the patterns of evolutionary history present within the human body. His work always, as life, starts with an egg, from which he produces exquisite forms in the form of small, clay raku boxes and and sculptures, measuring not more than five inches.
