More joy to share with you from my recent trip to Santa Fe NM. (I shared some of the O'Keeffe works Here.) In the Georgia O'Keefe exhibit are also some lovely pottery sculptures...abstract and with detailed finishing that I've never seen before. The museum's description of this exhibit is...
"As part of its ongoing Contemporary Voices series, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum presents work by Ken Price (1935-2012). One of the foremost American sculptors of his day, Price was also an accomplished graphic artist. Ten ceramic sculptures by Price, a longtime resident of Taos, New Mexico, will be displayed on pedestals throughout the Museum’s galleries. The organic, sensual forms, and chromatic complexity of Price’s sculptures will be paired and juxtaposed with O’Keeffe’s still life and landscape subjects, inviting visitors to view both artists in a new light. Watercolors by Georgia O’Keeffe will be presented alongside kindred works on paper, an homage to the high desert, by Ken Price.I had to chase down the biographical information that told of her last 13 years having an assistant (Juan Hamilton) who was a potter and helped her write her biography, and who was designated to receive a substantial portion of her estate. The family contested that will and settled with Hamilton. I just wanted to clarify that Ken Price had not been that young man.
