Within Two Hands: The Eye of the Collector

May 9 – June 29, 2008

Within Two Hands, The Eye of the Collector from the Marer Collection of Contemporary Ceramics at Scripps College, highlights the mid 1950s revolution in ceramics.  Questioning the tradition that ceramic forms must be utilitarian, a new freedom of expression emerged from this period and is thoughtfully displayed here with more than 70 works.
