Description
Clay Pop documents the reinvention of ceramic sculpture by a new generation of artists. Traditionally seen as more craft than art, clay is now an exciting platform for formal and conceptual innovation. This collection showcases thirty-eight artists who are pushing the medium beyond its traditional boundaries. The featured artists explore issues of gender, race, and identity through their work, using clay in novel ways to engage with social issues. Glazes are especially colorful, reflecting a range of influences from popular culture and artistic sources around the world. Each artist is presented with a profile on their ceramic practice, images of their work, and a biography. The book places the artists' work within the context of the histories of Pop Art and ceramics, highlighting the interconnected community of contemporary artists working in this medium.
