Claytime! Ceramics Finds Its Place in the Art-World Mainstream by Lilly Wei POSTED 01/15/14
Claytime! Ceramics Finds Its Place in the Art-World Mainstream BY Lilly Wei POSTED 01/15/14 Versatile, sensuous, malleable, as basic as mud and as old as art itself, clay is increasingly emerging as a material of choice for a wide range of contemporary artists Ceramic art, referring specifically to American ceramic art, has finally come out of the closet, kicking and disentangling itself from domestic servitude and minor- arts status—perhaps for good. Over the past year, New York has seen, in major venues, a spate of clay-based art. There was the much-lauded Ken Price retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as his exhibitions atFranklin Parrasch Gallery and the Drawing Center. Once known as a ceramist, Price is now considered a sculptor, one who has contributed significantly to the perception of ceramics as fine art. Ann Agee’s installation Super Imposition (2010), at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, presents the artist’s factory-like castings of rococo-style vessels in a re-created period room. COURTESY PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART At David Zwirner gallery, there was a show of early works by Robert Arneson, a founder of California Funk, who arrived on the scene before Paul McCarthy did. “VESSELS” at the Horticultural Society of New York last summer, with five cross- generational artists ranging from Beverly Semmes to Francesca DiMattio, provided a focused and gratifying challenge to ceramic orthodoxies. Currently, an international show on clay, “Body & Soul: New International Ceramics,” is on view at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York (up through March 2), featuring figurative sculptures with socio-political themes by such artists as Michel Gouéry, Mounir Fatmi, and Sana Musasama. -

Production and Trade of Porcelain in China, 1000-1500
Production and Trade of Porcelain in China, 1000-1500 Shelagh Vainker Ashmolean Museum, Oxford Email: [email protected] Just as the Song dynasty (960-1279) has been identified by economic historians as a peak after which no significant developments took place, so it is a period of culmination in the manufacture of ceramics. Between the 10th and 12th centuries, green, black or white high- fired wares that had been produced for centuries were made with finer bodies, smoother and more complex glazes and in a greater range of shapes than ever before, and in unprecedented quantities. They also became admired and moreover collected as objects of aesthetic, cultural and monetary value, a practice that had previously been restricted to works of art such as calligraphy and painting, or to the jades and bronze vessels associated with high antiquity and the authority to rule. This was also however the period in which was established China’s most enduring and famous kiln site, Jingdezhen. To that extent the period is not only a technological peak, but a pivotal one during which the centre of the ceramics industry began its shift from north to south China. At the time when the northern kilns were producing pieces for the imperial court and wares that would be adopted into the canon of connoisseur’s collectibles, southern kilns were making pots for everyday local use, and for export. In many instances, these imitated the northern wares in both technology and style; all were part of a country-wide industry with a distribution of manufacturing centres that was unprecedented and has not been repeated, for it is notable that during the pre-eminence of the north in potting, the south was also rich in kiln sites and products, while once the shift south had occurred no significant industry continued in north China. -

Blue-And-White Porcelain Also Known As Porcelain Ware in Underglazed Blue
HONG KONG HERITAGE SERIES MADE IN HONG KONG Blue-and-white Porcelain also known as porcelain ware in underglazed blue www.heritage.gov.hkwww.heritage.gov.hk www.amo.gov.hkwww.amo.gov.hk www.heritage.gov.hk www.cnc.org.hkwww.cnc.org.hk www.amo.gov.hk www.cnc.org.hk Blue-and-white History and culture are not something farfetched. The above picture Porcelain piece shows a blue-and-white porcelain bowl unearthed in Hong Kong. It was originally made in the Wun Yiu Kiln Site at Tai Po. The Wun Yiu Kiln Site was in operation during the Ming and Qing dynasties and the early Republic period. At its height, the kilns pro- duced over 400,000 pieces of porcelain per year, and its products were sold to as far as Malaysia. Today, at the Wun Yiu Exhibition, one can still see these pieces of cultural relics that bore witness to the early cultural and economic developments of Hong Kong. Kaolinite , also named “ porcelain stone ” Kaolinite clay , also named “ porcelain clay ” Both are the main ingredients for making porcelain. They share the same chemical composition of aluminium silicate hydrox- ide, Al2Si2O5(OH)4 , which is a clay mineral. Their difference is that kaolinite is a rock material, while kaolinite clay is the silt formed from weathered kaolinite. In as early as the Neolithic period, the Chinese has been making use of kaolinite clay. Dur- ing the Yuan dynasty, the town of Jingdezhen has already mas- tered techniques to produce blue-and-white porcelain. Kaolinite was first discovered and put into application in China, thus China is regarded as the country which invented porcelain. -
ARTISTS MAKE US WHO WE ARE the ANNUAL REPORT of the PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY of the FINE ARTS Fiscal Year 2012-13 1 PRESIDENT’S LETTER
ARTISTS MAKE US WHO WE ARE THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS FISCAL YEAR 2012-13 1 PRESIDENT’S LETTER PAFA’s new tagline boldly declares, “We Make Artists.” This is an intentionally provocative statement. One might readily retort, “Aren’t artists born to their calling?” Or, “Don’t artists become artists through a combination of hard work and innate talent?” Well, of course they do. At the same time, PAFA is distinctive among the many art schools across the United States in that we focus on training fine artists, rather than designers. Most art schools today focus on this latter, more apparently utilitarian career training. PAFA still believes passionately in the value of art for art’s sake, art for beauty, art for political expression, art for the betterment of humanity, art as a defin- ing voice in American and world civilization. The students we attract from around the globe benefit from this passion, focus, and expertise, and our Annual Student Exhibition celebrates and affirms their determination to be artists. PAFA is a Museum as well as a School of Fine Arts. So, you may ask, how does the Museum participate in “making artists?” Through its thoughtful selection of artists for exhibition and acquisition, PAFA’s Museum helps to interpret, evaluate, and elevate artists for more attention and acclaim. Reputation is an important part of an artist’s place in the ecosystem of the art world, and PAFA helps to reinforce and build the careers of artists, emerging and established, through its activities. PAFA’s Museum and School also cultivate the creativity of young artists. -
Technical Studies and Replication of Guan Ware, an Ancient Chinese Ceramic

With the reconstitution of the Research Institute for the History of Natural Sciences in 1977, the work of fully integrating these discoveries with the historical record has begun to accelerate. It is perhaps symbolic of that transition that early in 1977 Dr. Hsia Nai published in K'ao-ku, the bimonthly Chinese journal of archeology, a general review of important publications over the last five years, as well as materials not yet published, bearing on the history of science and technol ogy. His article in effect reviewed the important finds of the entire Cultural Revolution era. No writer could have been more fully informed or more judicious in his evaluations. Hsia 's interest in technical history was largely responsible for the attention paid to it in China by archeologists, and for the willingness of arche ologists and historians to collaborate in the study of artifacts. -

Gillette traces how Jingdezhen experienced the transition from imperial rule to state ownership under communism, the changing fortunes of the ceramics industry in the early 21st century, the decay and decline that accompanied privatisation, and a revival brought about by an entrepreneurial culture focusing on the manufacture of highly-prized 'art porcelain'. Production was controlled by a ministry in the capital, by then in Beijing , far to the north. China's Cultural Relics provides an illustrated introduction to ancient Chinese artifacts and the preservation of these relics in modern times. Additional Product Features Dewey Edition. Bill o'Reilly's Killing Ser. In this fascinating book, Rebecca Barden got her feet muddy to tell the year story of how the Chinese state, global markets and the potters of Jingdezhen have interacted to produce the most extraordinary porcelains in the world. A new Southern Song court was based in Hangzhou. Best Selling in Nonfiction See all. Getting to know the ceramists who work there, Gillette ensures that this tome makes an arresting read.

Wares were placed inside stacked saggars on a floor of quartz sand; as the saggars protected their contents from direct flame both fuel and air could be introduced directly to the interior through vents, allowing temperature regulation throughout the kiln.
