Vicki

2017

Vicki, a compact ceramic work completed in 2017, exemplifies the Haas Brothers' singular approach to sculptural craft, one that collapses the distance between fine art, fantasy, and functional object-making into something wholly their own. Measuring just 11.4 by 14 centimeters, the piece carries an outsized presence, inviting close inspection of the surface texture, glazing decisions, and the irreverent character the Los Angeles-based twin brothers consistently coax from their materials. Their ceramics resist easy categorization, drawing equally from surrealist lineage, pop sensibility, and a deep engagement with craft traditions to produce objects that feel simultaneously ancient and deeply contemporary. Signed by the artists, Vicki is being offered through the Sexy Beast Benefit Auction, lending the acquisition an additional layer of cultural context beyond the object itself. The work represents an accessible entry point into a practice that has attracted serious institutional attention alongside devoted collector followings, and its modest scale belies the conceptual richness the Haas Brothers routinely pack into even their smallest editions. Prospective buyers located in California should note that applicable state sales tax of 9.5 percent will be added to purchases picked up or shipped within the state.
