This ceramic wall light, created around 1975 by German artist Walburga Kulz (b. 1931), exemplifies her blend of sculptural design and functional utility. Featuring a rectangular structure with an oval cut-out framing vertical ceramic elements, the piece achieves a striking interplay of form and light. Its earthy glaze adds depth and texture, while clean geometric lines give it a modernist aesthetic. Designed as both a light source and a sculptural object, it transforms spaces into showcases of mid-century design. Kulz, trained as a ceramicist in post-war Germany, is renowned for her exploration of bold geometric forms and refined glazing techniques. This wall light reflects her 1970s experimentation, balancing minimalist design with tactile materiality. Rare and collectible, it is a timeless testament to her mastery and her contribution to modern ceramic art and design.
