Estella Campavias (1918–1990) was a British sculptor and ceramicist. She is known for glazed stoneware, as on display in the Victoria and Albert Museum.[1][2]
Early life
Born in Istanbul, Campavias was of Scottish and Spanish extraction.[3] She was brought up in Turkey,[4] and travelled as the daughter of a diplomat.[3] Self-taught, Campavias first found fame as a ceramicist, beginning her career in 1955,[4] before developing as a sculptor in the 1970s.[5]
Works
Her abstract sculptures take the form of smooth flowing figures, seemingly in movement.[6] Her sculptures were exhibited in Italy, France and the United Kingdom.[6] Some of her pieces: Head (c.1980), Reclining Figure (c.1980) and La Joie de Vivre (1988) were featured, for sale, in the Wolseley Fine Arts Catalogue of Modern and Contemporary Sculpture.[4] In 2013, some of her previously unseen works were exhibited at the Glyndebourne Festival alongside the work of Sean Henry and Michael Craig-Martin.[7] She was described by Roy Oppenheim as "one of the most exciting sculptors of our time".[3][7] An image of Campavias, taken by Ida Kar is held in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.[8]
