DESCRIPTION:
The most recent attracted 3,500 participants, 65 national delegations and involved an arts festival spanning 73 museums and galleries. The first symposium was held in conjunction with the groundbreaking exhibition, A Century of Ceramics in the United States 1878-1978, in Syracuse, New York, and opened with a keynote address by Clement Greenberg. Garth Clark, the CAF's founding director and a noted ceramics scholar, has selected these symposium essays from eminent voices in mainstream art and design as well as the finest specialty writers on ceramics, past and present.. Over the last two decades of the twentieth century, the Ceramic Arts Foundation (formerly the Institute for Ceramic History) presented International Ceramics Symposiums in New York, Toronto, London and Amsterdam, among other cities. In the course of that work, it fundamentally changed the approach of ceramics to the field's modern history, to scholarship, and to criticism
Mom said Must Read for any Ceramics Artist/Art Historian. Simply the most erudite collection of essays on the history of Ceramic Arts in the U.S. and current issues theoretically and philosophically. As an artist, knowledge is power, and this is the most powerful (and ONLY) collection of essays available.. book I bought the book either for school or as a reference. Its good. I can't believe they require a minimum amount of words. Crazy. They want an opinion and then ask for so many words. What are they nuts!
