Important Works by Renato Bassoli

An acclaimed sculptor, ceramicist, furniture and jewelry designer, Renato Bassoli expressed a rigorous passion for living. Deeply rooted in humanism, nature, and above all, the celebration of life, Bassoli’s artistic philosophy fueled his lengthy career. From hot-enameled ceramic works and steel constructions to thoughtfully sculpted clay sculptures and precious jewels, Bassoli drew from the elements to create an exuberant and expressive body of work.
