Top Collection of American Ceramics Makes New York City Debut at The Ubs Painewebber Art Gallery


Previous

Sergei Isupov’s RustleA number of ceramists at work during the past two decades have explored painterly and sculptural concerns not always associated with the clay medium. Mary Frank’s sculptural work Horse and Rider (1982) features starkly expressive yet fragmented skeletal figures. Works like Sergei Isupov’s Rustle (1999) and Marc Leuthold’s Diptych (1998) extend traditional boundaries, indicating the innovative possibilities for the future of American ceramics as the 21st century begins its course.
