Description
A celebration of the ingenuity and diversity of talent found in contemporary ceramics.
In this book, Matthias Ostermann presents an exploration of the ceramic surface through an examination of the works of 200 ceramicists from around the world. His overview of these varied artists' work throws up a huge spectrum of contemporary techniques and approaches. This collection focuses on the vessel and platter – including the non-functional, the metaphoric, the narrative, and even the sculptural.
Each image is accompanied by technical information as well as a statement of the artist's inspiration and motivation that offers insight into the concept of the piece. The surfaces themselves show a wide range of techniques of making, decorating and firing, offering a sumptuous selection of ideas and methods. An inspiring read for ceramicists, educators, and historians alike!
