Miami, FL – October 6, 2018 – Nina Johnson Gallery is pleased to present Funnel of Love, an exhibition of new and vintage works by legendary artist, potter, and designer Peter Shire. With a rambunctious, irreverent group of objects, Funnel of Love showcases Shire’s unique position in the worlds of art and design—a role of historic importance, and constant exploration. A founding member of the iconic Memphis Group, Shire is acclaimed for his playful approach to the language of design inverts accepted orthodoxies—punning, as it were, on the expected.
