Early Biomorphic Stoneware Ceramic Sculpture – Prof. Azade Köker, Germany, Mid-1970s

Early ceramic sculpture by German-Turkish artist Prof. Azade Köker, created during her student years in the mid-1970s and authenticated directly by the artist in written correspondence. The biomorphic form combines a rounded domed body with an irregular folded perimeter, matte beige stoneware surface, and subtle celadon-green glaze accents, already pointing toward Köker’s later organic sculptural language.
