In the course of that work, it fundamentally changed the approach of ceramics to the field's modern history, to scholarship, and to criticism. 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. The most recent attracted 3,500 participants, 65 national delegations and involved an arts festival spanning 73 museums and galleries. 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. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Must Read for any Ceramics Artist/Art HistorianSimply 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. |
