INNOVATION AND CHANGE: GREAT CERAMICS
individual expression rather than following the crowd. Rules were
broken and a new ceramic frontier was born.
The figure became a prominent foil for artistic expression in clay
and witnessed a resurgence of interest in the 1960s, primarily
from West Coast artists, including Robert Arneson and Viola Frey.
During the 1970s and 1980s, another sea change took place. Many
artists began using the vessel format to express painterly concerns
or to convey personal stories, either as painted narration on the
surface or as fully integrated form and design. With each successive
generation, emerging artists have forged a new voice within the
ceramic idiom.
Opening day of Great Ceramics, Friday, May 28, is a free public
admission day, courtesy of BlueCross BlueShield of SC.
The exhibition was curated by Peter Held, curator of ceramics and
was developed and managed by Smith Kramer Fine Art Services,
an exhibition tour development company in Kansas City, Missouri.
Innovation and Change: Great Ceramics from the Ceramics Research
Center has been organized by the Arizona State University Art
Museum, located near Phoenix in Tempe, Arizona.
