An in-depth analysis of Frans Wildenhain and his role in
mid-century studio ceramics. Steeped in modernist ceramic
aesthetics, Frans Wildenhain studied under Gerhard Marcks and Max
Krehan at the Bauhaus pottery workshop in Dornburg, Germany. There,
Wildenhain met another potter, Marguerite Friedlaender, his
futurewife. Following World War II, Wildenhain emigrated to the
U.S. Earning prizes for his art at the 1939 International
Exposition in Paris and the 1958 Brussels World's Fair, Wildenhain
also received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1958,became a Fellow of
the American Crafts Council and his work is in the collections of
the Smithsonian Institution, Everson Museum and the Art Institute
of Chicago. This book features archival images as well as more than
150rich, color photographs of the ceramics exhibited in 2012 at the
Rochester Institute of Technology, NY. Six chapters offer
contributions to scholarship on the artist, mid-century studio
pottery and modern design, monetizing and commercial acceptance of
mid-century handcrafted art at an innovative artists' cooperative,
university education at the School for American Craftsmen, and an
interview with collector Robert Johnson who donated his Wildenhain
collection to RIT. The book is an essential document of the
exhibition and an excellent reference for those interested in
ceramics, crafts, mid-century design and art entrepreneurship.
