Ken Price
Ken Price (1935 - 2012) received a BFA from the University of Southern California after studying at Chouinard Art Institute, and Otis Art Institute with Peter Voulkos. He was part of the Otis group, which was instrumental in transforming clay from a craft medium into a vehicle for personal aesthetic expression. Any attempt to simply delimit Price's work in relation to art or craft, sculpture or pottery, is problematic, as his work effortlessly traverses these artificial divisions. In 1959, Price received an MFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Price’s work has appeared in countless exhibitions since his first solo installation at Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles in 1960. He has had over sixty one-person exhibitions at galleries and institutions, including L.A. Louver Gallery, Venice; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; The Menil Collection, Houston; Leo Castelli Gallery, New York; Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; Santa Barbara Museum of Art; and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. His work has been included in many prestigious group exhibitions including Made in California, 1900-2000, Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Contemporary Ceramics, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Sunshine and Noir: Art in L.A. 1960-1997, UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, and Louisiana Museum, Denmark; and 1981 Biennial Exhibition, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
Price has recently had three major retrospectives- 2012 Ken Price Retrospective Fall 2012 Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA
2013 Ken Price Retrospective Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY 2013 Ken Price Retrospective Winter 2013 Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas, TX

Ceramic Bunny Person: 'He’s love and light and all things bright and dark'
By Ashley Benton
Located in New York, NY
Ashley is an American artist living in Savannah Georgia. Her work and practice is primarily mixed media paintings and sculptures with a focus on ceramics. “ My work begins with the subtle impressions left from living a life” Through Emotionally charged ideas and recurring imagery the viewer is encouraged to participate in a dialogue that hovers between dreams and reality inviting them to create their own story.
‘My work begins with the subtle impressions left from living a life. I use recurring imagery of rabbits, birds, wings, hoods and caps, flora even missing body parts almost like a key to a map. The recurring images can be symbolic of a tendency, a comment on a belief or an anecdote. While I am working it is like a private message between me and the piece, which becomes a public conversation inviting the viewer to have their own experience. Occasionally it turns out it is the same experience for the viewer as it was for me and this reveals our commonality. This is important to me because we all have our individual story. It lingers in the unconscious. My work can act as a retrieval cue. Stories, poems, songs, relationships are all there until I start to daydream getting out of the thinking mind. I can let any new version be told much like a writer of fiction. There are silver linings, dead ends, sharp curves, love, loss, vulnerability, blue skies, dark clouds, deep water and pretty little things...
