Marking(s); notes: no marking(s) apparent

Known for his trompe-l’oeil ceramic sculptures, Ray Gross transforms everyday objects into hyperrealistic works of fine art. This oversized eraser, rendered in glazed porcelain, echoes the Pop sensibilities of Claes Oldenburg, Jeff Koons, and Ken Price. Gross’s work playfully blurs the line between industrial design and fine art, much like his contemporaries in the Pop and Funk movements.
