Friendship Forged in Fire: British Ceramics in America
The essays in this book look at the development of British Ceramics and their collection by American collectors. The historic 'special relationship' between Great Britain and the United States spans decades and is deeply valued on both sides of the 'pond.' Emerging from the alliances forged in the world wars in the first half of 20th century, both British and American societies have benefited from the infusion of each other's cultural contributions. Ceramics and ceramic collecting has been no different in this regard. The British ceramic art displayed in this book is largely loaned from the private collections of California connoisseurs. These treasured artifacts testify to the regard and appreciation that American collectors hold for British ceramics. This catalog accompanies the 2013 exhibition by the same name at the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona, CA.
Common Ground
"A broad survey of more than fifty ceramic artists who worked in the Los Angeles area in the decades following World War II, Common ground, as a book and exhibition, celebrates the art that is central to the mission of the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona, CA. The artists selected for Common ground all had a direct connection to Millard Sheets, an artist, art educators, arts administrator, and designer, whose activities and ideology had an enormous impact on Southern California in the middle of the twentieth century. The essays take different perspectives on the region's dynamics, together presenting an in-depth analysis of the complex and diverse factors that created a fertile ground for ceramics."--Dust jacket flap.
