In 1989, at nearly 40 years of age, Vladimir Kanevsky set out for a new life and career in the U.S.
“When I came here, I wanted to become a figurative sculptor, and I started it immediately,” says the native of Ukraine, who had previously worked as an architect in the former Soviet Union. “But I needed to pay rent. You cannot pay rent with sculpture. If you’re number one in the world, you probably can. But if you’re the second? No.”
Kanevsky figured out how he could make rent and make a name for himself in the world of design in the process. “Just by chance, someone asked me if I can make porcelain,” he says. “I never worked with porcelain, but I said I could. I started to teach myself, and eventually it led me to flowers, tableware, and other decorative objects.”
