Artes Magnus

Roy Lichtenstein (American, 1923-1997).This table centerpiece was inspired by the standing mobiles of Alexander Calder. The base can also function as a reservoir to allow the placement of flowers. In this sculpture, the elements of nature (sky, sun, clouds, trees and water) are glazed porcelain manufactured by Bernardaud in Limoges, France.&nbsp;

<ul><li>Joel Otterson (American, b. 1959).</li><li>Mr. and Mrs. Monster Carving Set is a limited-edition knife and fork set. These eccentric utensils continue the artist’s interest in and exploration of utilitarian domestic objects. The carving set is an amalgam of two juxtaposed elements. The upper torsos are a composite of male and female children’s superhero figure toys, and their legs are a metaphor for those of a French Provincial chair. The carving set is fabricated by Braganti Silversmith in Florence, Italy. The two sculptural copper bases are made by the artist in his own studio.&nbsp;</li></ul>

Amour Totale

<ul><li>Yinka Shonibare, CBE (British-Nigerian, b. 1962).</li><li>Edition of 50.</li><li>3D printed using ABS, PLA plastics, resin, automobile paints, etched brass, dry transfers, acrylic mirror, batik fabric, quartz clock.</li><li>The artist offers a wry commentary on the tangled interrelationship between Africa and Europe and the vestiges of empire. Informed by an upbringing split between Nigeria and Great Britain, Shonibare’s work confronts the fraught history between the two countries. Amalgamating imagery from both cultures, the work exposes the ingrained conflicts of geopolitics and their outsized role in shaping material culture.</li><li>Carriage Clock takes the form of the Queen’s Irish Carriage, among the most iconic symbols of the British Empire at its most powerful. Using his signature African Batik fabric for the inner and outer upholstery of the carriage, the artist invites viewers to consider Britain’s relationship to its former colonial holdings and the violence inherent therein. Inside the carriage sits a clock whose hands move in reverse; the time is only legible when read in the mirror across from it. In a typically layered gesture, Shonibare presents time itself as a political and social force, questioning its supposedly linear relationship with progress and human advancement, especially in the face of stifling governments and expansionist colonial bodies.</li><li>Carriage clocks were invented in 1812 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, reputedly for Napoleon to take on his campaigns. They became a popular travel timepiece in the 19th century, paving the way for the development of the wristwatch in the late 1800s.</li></ul>

George Segal (American, 1924-2000).This centerpiece was inspired by a still life by Cezanne and manufactured in Limoges, France. The unglazed porcelain is suggestive of the plaster surfaces of the artist's figurative sculptures. The interior of the pitcher is glazed and may be used as a vase.

Elijah Cup

<ul><li>Tom Otterness (American, b. 1952).</li><li>Seder Plate provides a new and innovative approach by a contemporary sculptor to the traditional story of the Exodus from Egypt. The compartments for the ritual foods are set into a symbolic Red Sea, with Moses parting it. The remaining images, drawn from the Passover Haggadah, include the Ten Plagues, Aaron’s staff turning to a serpent, the Paschal lamb and the four sons, who support and elevate the plate.</li></ul>

Seder Plate

<ul><li>John Chamberlain (American, 1927-2011).</li><li>This set includes a serving bowl with six plates entitled Tasted Snow for Artes Magnus.</li><li>In keeping with the artist's interest in found objects, particularly automotive parts, Chamberlain has used a gear and an oil-pan to make the molds for his plates and bowl.</li><li>Fabricated in Limoges, France, these white porcelain pieces are each over-glazed with gold, platinum and copper on their rims, recalling the timing marks that mechanics use.&nbsp;</li></ul>
