This title accompanies the exhibition of this acclaimed ceramicist at The Tate, St Ives, Spring 2003.
Winner of the 2001 Jerwood Applied Arts Prize, Richard Slee (b.1946) is one of the most interesting and significant ceramicists working today.Richard Slee's ceramics are intriguing, witty and thought provoking. His work is a celebration of the domestic and the familiar, with everyday objects instilled with meaning from personal to social and political issues. His toby jugs, for example, humorously subvert this traditional icon of Englishness to express the current state of the nation.Coinciding with a major retrospective of Richard Slee's ceramics spanning his career, this book is the definitive study on Slee's work to date and as such will be an invaluable resource for collectors, curators, academics and general enthusiasts alike.
In The Persistence of Craft, contributors discuss the development of not only six specific crafts--glass, ceramics, jewelry, wood, textiles, and metal--but also the trends and movements that have helped shape their developments. Includes 180 full-color illustrations.
