Description

'Vessel | Sculpture' refers to the direction studio pottery has taken since the mid-20th century, developing from primarily functional vessels to artistically designed vessels, ceramic sculpture, installation and conceptual art.

The aim is to trace the history of how ceramics has evolved and developed into an autonomous art medium, which is continually self-renewing.

Focused on the GRASSI Museum's collection of contemporary ceramic work since 1946 when Germany was divided into East and West after the World War II, this book provides a fascinating and instructive overview of developments and trends in the two Germanys.

Moreover, a broad-ranging selection of works by ceramicists now active in both the new and the old Federal German states is supplemented by contemporary pieces from all over the world.

The publication is devoted to one-off pieces and limited editions from the past six decades.

Reproductions in large formats of approximately four hundred selected objects are accompanied by biographies of as many artists and their signatures.
