Emerging from a cadre of innovative artists in postwar Los Angeles, Price transformed the art of ceramics, finding inspiration in a diverse array of sources: the Bauhaus, traditional Southwestern pottery, Japanese ceramics, and 1960s American counterculture. Through his masterful manipulation of clay, innovative glazing, and magnificent handling of color, Price created, over the course of his career, a set of highly original forms. His works on paper echo his sculptures in their brilliant colors and fantastical subjects and convey his perceptions of the locales where he enjoyed much of his life, namely, Los Angeles and New Mexico. Featuring nearly two hundred full-color images, this generously illustrated volume contains an introduction by the curator Paul Schimmel and a scholarly essay by Sam Thorne. The juxtapositions of two- and three-dimensional works throughout offer readers in-deph access to the artist's creative process. Price emerges as a multifaceted, cheerful iconoclast who approached both his work and his life with erudition and exuberance. |
