Porcelain — Major Works by Master Ceramists
This provocative and engaging visual delight
presents spectacular porcelain pieces from 40 of the leading international
artists working today. Prized for its unique qualities of pristine
whiteness, strength, and texture, porcelain is an unusual and notoriously
difficult clay whose very definition remains subject to debate. The 40
sculptors and potters who have been chosen by Richard Burkett to appear in
this curated collection expand and challenge traditional perceptions of
what the medium can — and should — do. Their work represents the great
diversity in practice — both technical and aesthetic — that porcelain
affords the ceramists who mine its tremendous potential. Claire Curneen
presents highly emotive, tactile figurative forms. Edmund de Waal’s
elegant celadon site-specific vessel installations are renowned for their
meditative presence. Harlan House’s finely carved vessels take
inspiration from nature’s organic forms, while Bodil Manz’s eggshell
porcelain cylinders are so translucent that you can sometimes discern
light shadow passing trough the walls of his pots.(336 pages, 600+color
photos, 9” x 8” x 1” / Paper with flaps) by Richard Burkett.
