Forman (Bob) is\u00a0born in Los Angeles, California (USA) in 1948.\u00a0He studied at the University of Puget Sound, Washington State and at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills (Master degree received in 1977), Michigan (USA).\u00a0Also taught at Rhode Island School of design. He began as a successful professional potter producing useful objects.\u00a0In 1974 he went to see Bernard Leach in England.\u00a0He was inspired by Leach and he wanted to define the classical ceramic forms anew.\u00a0From then on he gave his objects a dramatic sculptural power.\u00a0He fires at low temperatures, burnishes his slips and paints the fired clay.\u00a0His method is partly inspired by the ceramics of American Indians.\u00a0He has had exhibitions in Europe and America, including the &#8220;Young Americans 78&#8221; show at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts in NYC. The very rare vessel offered here has a burnished layer of clay in a single colour dark brown with a soft sheen, the inside and base are painted a matt black.\u00a0This vessel has been executed in the Keramisch Werkcentrum in Heusden, The Netherlands during his\u00a0stay\u00a0as an artist in residence. In that time Robert was befriended with Jan van Leeuwen. Robert L. Forman took part in the travelling exhibition: Who&#8217;s Afraid of American Pottery?, in Het Kruithuis, Den Bosch (NL), Paleis voor Schone Kunsten, Brussels (BE) and Stedelijk Museum Museum Gouda (NL), 1983.\u00a0There are three known untitled vessels.\u00a0One is in the collection of Dienst Beeldende Kunst, Den Bosch, one in the collection of the late Benno Premsela, and the third one is offered here.\u00a0The vessels are depicted in the catalogue of above-mentioned exhibition.
