For
the first time in nearly eight decades the Malevich teapot
and cups are again in production. At the factory in
St.Petersburg that made the originals. And using the
models the artist used in order to make his own set.
Back
in 1923 Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935), co-founder of modern art
and inventor
of constructivism and suprematism,
had such difficulties casting his own teapots
that fewer than half-a-dozen were made.
Even with their problems
the Malevich originals were
icons of the Russian avant garde.
They
rank among the most important
pieces of functional modern
sculpture of the twentieth century.
ARS Limited of London has
joined with the Lomonosov Porcelain
Factory of St.Petersburg to offer
the Malevich reproductions at attractive prices.
The Malevich
pieces are currently available,
exclusively from ARS Limited, prices upon request.
