    To identify Robert Maxwell pottery, search the bottom for a maker's mark. The American ceramicist incised his signature into the bases of many of his pieces. However, not all Robert Maxwell pottery is marked. As a result, you may also want to look at images of Maxwell's work to become familiar with his style. Maxwell was particularly well-known for using rutile glaze, which lent his pottery a speckled, mottled appearance.

Because there is so much variation in his pottery, you may wish to have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer help you with the identification process.

    No, Robert Motherwell was not a Surrealist painter. The American artist was the youngest member of the New York School, a group of Abstract Expressionists working in art, dance, poetry and music in the 1950s and '60s. However, Motherwell did meet a group of exiled Parisian Surrealists while attending Columbia University to study art history in the 1940s. This encounter proved influential in his style. Inspired by their work, Motherwell began to integrate the idea of “automatism," unmediated gestures that reflect deeper psychological impulses, into his work, pioneering a new form of Abstract Expressionism that came to characterize the New York School. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Robert Motherwell art.
