ceramics artists

The article examines the resurgence of ceramics as a fine art medium, tracing its history from ancient Chinese and Greek pottery to the record-breaking $36 million sale of a Ming Dynasty chicken cup in 2014. It highlights influential figures like Peter Voulkos, who established ceramics departments at major institutions, and artists such as Ken Price, Ron Nagle, and Betty Woodman. Recent major museum exhibitions—including 'Strange Clay' at London’s Hayward Gallery, 'Funk You Too!' at New York’s Museum of Arts and Design, and 'Ceramics in the Expanded Field' at MASS MoCA—showcase a new generation of artists pushing the medium beyond traditional craft.

rhea dillon sculpture new talent

Rhea Dillon, a 29-year-old artist and writer, is preparing for three exhibitions opening over the summer: a group show at the Whitney Independent Study Program (ISP), a solo exhibition at Heidelberger Kunstverein, and a booth in the Statements section of Art Basel Switzerland. Her work, which draws on Black and Caribbean intellectual traditions, uses everyday objects and symbols to critique postcolonial diasporic identity, as seen in sculptures like *Caribbean Ossuary* (2022) and *Swollen, Whole, Broken...* (2023). Dillon also discusses her linguistic approach, explored in drawings at Paul Soto Gallery, where she repeats and redefines the shape of a spade to transform a racial slur into new forms.

art basel miami 2025 exhibitor changes

Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 has lost at least eight exhibitors from its main sector since the fair released its initial list over the summer. Among the dropouts are blue-chip galleries including Miguel Abreu, Chantal Crousel, Alison Jacques, Peter Kilchmann, Edward Tyler Nahem, Luisa Strina, and Lia Rumma, as well as Shanghai's BANK gallery. Two galleries, Altman Siegel and Tilton, closed entirely between the list's release and the present. Kasmin changed its name to Olney Gleason and will still participate. Reasons for withdrawal vary: Miguel Abreu chose a solo presentation at Frieze Masters over Miami, citing a "less than stellar" experience the previous year and the burden of three fall fairs. The fair's contract imposes escalating financial penalties for late withdrawals, with galleries owing 50% of their fee after August 1 and 100% after October 1.
