Sascha Brastoff Alaska Series Sculpture - Polar Bear
Sascha Brastoff (1917–1993) was a multifaceted American artist whose career spanned performance, costume design, and ceramics. In 1947, he established a ceramics studio in Los Angeles, which became renowned for its mid-century modern designs and employed a team of artists to produce his creations. Among his notable works is the "Alaska Series," a collection of ceramics that depict Alaskan wildlife and indigenous themes.
Crafted in translucent resin with a warm honey-amber glow, the piece captures the stylized form and gentle curves characteristic of the Alaska Series. The minimalist silhouette and smooth, subtly variegated finish evoke northern landscapes while highlighting Brastoff’s meticulous craftsmanship.
