Chess Set 1950

Anton Prinner's "Chess Set" (1950) is a unique set of ceramic sculptures, each piece representing a different figure in the game of chess. Prinner, known for his modernist style, crafted the chess pieces in an abstract yet recognizable manner. The sculptures, all of which are rendered in white, evoke a sense of both classical and contemporary art. These whimsical sculptures of stylized figures, with their simple lines and minimalist forms, represent a fascinating example of Prinner's artistic vision.
