Porcelain is prized for its vivid whiteness, but it has always posed particular
problems for the ceramicist using it. In Contemporary Studio Porcelain,
Peter Lane provides a strong history and celebration of the development of porcelain
at the turn of the new millennium. He gives particular consideration to the technical
achievements, working practices, and aesthetic concerns of ceramicists who work
with this most popular medium and its close relative, bone china.
The international group of artists featured in this book demonstrates the confidence
and versatility found in contemporary porcelain, resulting in a breathtaking look
at the exciting and innovative work that is currently being done internationally
in this field.
Contemporary Studio Porcelain presents a wide diversity of porcelain
objects that will both inspire and enthrall. This classic work, now substantially
revised, is a must not only for any potter working in porcelain but also for collectors
of fine ceramics. |
