This book, which accompanies an exhibition at the Fondation Baur,
explores the intriguing story of porcelain glaze at the end of the
18th century in China, in the 19th century in France, and in the
work of two 20th century ceramic artists. Part one investigates the
development of opaque glazes for use on porcelain and copper during
the 18th century in work from three collections: Alfred Baur's vast
collection of imperial ceramics; the Canton glazes of the Zubov
Foundation; and export porcelain from the Ariana Museum in Geneva.
The second part begins in France, in the 19th century, at the
Sevres factory, tracing the various journeys to China to bring back
samples of colour, analyse them chemically, and tirelessly attempt
to reproduce them. The catalogue ends in the present, with the
experiments conducted by the American-born artist Fance Franck
(1927-2008) on "sacrificial red" and the work on colour carried out
by the Austrian ceramist Thomas Bohle. Text in English and French.
