American,
b. 1948
Face Cup
1995
Porcelain
8.5 x 7.5 x 3 in.
Andrea Gill’s Face Cup is an anomaly, as all of her works in exhibitions and collections are large, handbuilt sculptures that start from traditional vessel forms and become camouflaged with slabs or wings. This rare majolica cup was thrown on the wheel with low-fire terra-cotta clay. It demonstrates Gill’s talents in painting, the medium she began with. The sketched face seems quickly drawn on an opaque tin-white glaze, but in her simple mark-making she achieves the spontaneity, freshness, and naiveté of a folk artist. Gill is considered one of the pioneers in the resurgence of decorative earthenware and maiolica glaze techniques. Since 1980, when she began to work in clay full time, Gill’s vessels are primarily vehicles for painted decoration.
