He earned a B.A. from Humboldt State University (1975) and an M.F.A. (1978) from the University of Washington in Seattle, where he studied under ceramist and conceptual artist Howard Kottler. Working across a variety of mediums—from clay and fabric to steel and stoneware—and often in series, Lucero demonstrates “a reverence for high art, affection for folk art, nostalgia for nature, and curiosity about other cultures” in his polychrome sculptures. Simultaneously autobiographical and attuned to stylistic cues from pre-Columbian, Native American, European, and American folk art, Lucero’s work deftly commingles tradition with innovation. In addition to numerous private collections, examples of Lucero’s work can be found in the permanent collections of Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum of Art; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the National Gallery of Art; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others. Mostly intact; a number of elements with breaks and losses to lower segments, generally concentrated to outer areas of arms (hands); approximately thirty pieces have losses; a handful of elements likely detached and lost; no indication of replaced elements, a few pieces potentially reglued post-production; left foot of figure missing four toes; a few losses to lower edge of head elements. Presents well in person.
