Excitations
15 Oct 11 - 31 Dec 12
Excitations is an exhibition of ceramics from York Museums Trust's collections chosen by leading ceramicist Gordon Baldwin.
Baldwin, born in 1932, is internationally regarded as the UK's most distinguished living sculptural potter, who, for the last fifty years, has been producing the most radical and exciting work in clay.
He has been highly influential both as a teacher and artist and can be seen as a key post-war artist, whose activity has helped move ceramics onto a sculptural platform and away from its more traditional functional concerns.
This exhibition acts as an introduction to Baldwin and his inspiration, and is a fascinating introduction to our main exhibition of his own work, Objects for a Landscape.
