ANGELO GARZIO

 

 

Angelo Garzio is Professor Emeritus of Ceramics at Kansas State University. He received an M.F.A. in 1954 and has taught in multiple universities and crafts programs throughout the country. 

 

His style is distinct, and his technique and artistry are sharp and sophisticated. The forms he employs are most frequently classical in nature, but with his very individualistically subtle style.

 

He is an innovative and master glazer. Many of his glazes are revolutionary ideas used on classical forms. This probably is the most outstanding characteristic of the bowl that is found in this gallery. The form itself would be classified as high art. With the addition of his both strong and subtle glazing affect, the piece is stunning and stands comfortably next to any other masterpiece.

 

Garzio’s work is widely exhibited throughout the world. He commands high prices that are rapidly escalating.  His works are found only in major galleries and prominent auctions.
