| Summary: | Ceramics have long offered an additional mode of expression to painters and sculptors, installation and concept artists alike. The attraction often lies in the immediacy of clay that allows a spontaneous shaping of raw forms. This is described by Lucio Fontana in his programmatic text 'La mia ceramica', which has lent its name to the exhibition at Galerie Max Hetzler in Paris documented here. The roundup starts in the late 1940s and leads us from the pioneers of the medium-beside Fontana these are Pablo Picasso and Fausto Melotti-to very recent work from contemporary artists. You will find pure abstraction and free reinvention of vessels, spontaneous expression and calculated concept, sometimes placed within the ceramic tradition, sometimes subverting all its conventions. In its sequence of works, along with statements from the artists on the possibilities and practice of ceramics, this book reveals the very personal approach this material affords. 00Exhibition: Galerie Max Hetzler, Paris, France (03.06.-16.07.2016). |
