ABOUT: IN MORE THAN 35 YEARS OF CREATING new challenges for himself, ceramic artist David Furman has created a diverse body of work, beginning in the early 1970s with the environmental vignettes of his dog Molly. The later 1970s saw him create realist clay works of rolling pins, work boards, and throwing tools. He turned to constructing "contemporary ruins" in the 1980s and then trompe l'oeil tin cans/paintbrush works in the early 1990s. Bulletin, chalk, and drawing boards became the hallmark of his work in the mid- 1990s, while erotic vegetable teapots were his focus in the late 1990s and early 2000s. His most recent work moves ahead/back to the narrative, using ceramic simulacra of the wooden art mannequins used to teach proportion in drawing classes. From these seemingly anonymous and inanimate figures, Furman creates tableaus that enact the complexities of human interaction and emotion. Because the characters in the drama are anonymous, the works become at once personal and universal, for, as Furman says,"We all come to these works with our own set of excess baggage!' Furman has had 45 one person exhibitions, and his work has been included in such venues at the Whitney Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Institution. His artwork was awarded the Silver Medal in 2005 at the 3rd World Ceramic Biennale in Icheon, Korea. He has received three National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, and three Fulbright fellowships. In August 2007 he was a U.S. State Dept. cultural envoy to Honduras where he juried the 9th Honduras Biennale of Sculpture and Ceramics. Seller Inventory # ABE-1714606150372
