Limited edition porcelain sculpture “Clown” by Peter Strang

Few sculptors have shaped the tradition of Meissen porcelain as much as Peter Strang: Born in Dresden in 1936, the artist is renowned today for his wall sculptures, portraits, and sculptures in fine porcelain. After his apprenticeship at the State Porcelain Manufactory, Strang studied at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts and returned to the Meissen Manufactory in 1959 as a graduate sculptor. In 1973, he was appointed artistic director of the State Porcelain Manufactory. Since 2001, Strang, who has been awarded the "Art Prize of the GDR," the "National Prize for Literature and Art," and the "Saxon Order of Merit," has worked as a freelance artist.
