Betty Woodman Art

American, 1930-2018
Betty Woodman was a leading American ceramist whose dazzling inventions with form and color moved beyond the traditional domain of craft. Her work is crucial to larger discussions about gender, craft, and modernism in 20th-century America. In 2008, Woodman was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Brooklyn Museum. She has been honored as National Academician by National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts in New York and is the recipient of the prestigious Dunwiddie Prize from that same institution. She holds Honorary Doctorates from Rhode Island School of Design; Nova Scotia College of Art and Design; and the University of Colorado, Boulder, where she served as Professor of Fine Arts for many years. Other honors and awards include the Premio Internazionale Vietri sul Mare, Fondazione Museo Artistico Industriale in Salerno, Italy; the Visionary Award of The American Craft Museum in New York; a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship from he Bellagio Study Center in Bellagio, Italy; a Distinguished Research & Creative Lectureship, University of Colorado, Boulder; the Colorado Governor’s Award in the Arts; two NEA Fellowships, and a Fulbright-Hays Scholarship to Florence, Italy. Woodman’s work has been shown around the world in exhibitions throughout the US, and in France, Italy, Holland and Japan. Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art; Boston Museum of Fine Arts; Brooklyn Museum; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Smithsonian Institute; National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Whitney Museum of American Art; the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam; Victoria and Albert Museum in London; the ICA London; and numerous others. In 2006, “The Art of Betty Woodman,” a retrospective of Woodman’s work, was shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Betty Woodman (1930-2018) Sugar Bowl and Creamer Set, early 80s White Stoneware & Glaze Size: 4 x 6 inches (each) Elizabeth Woodman (née Abrahams; May 14, 1930 – January 2, 2018) was an American ceramic artist. She began her career in the 1950s as a production potter, but her decision to become a potter dates back to her teenage years, when she took a class in high school and became "fascinated with the magic of ceramic glaze." She attended the School for American Craftsmen at Alfred University, where she created a custard cup for an assignment for a production piece. Her career moved from functional pottery to fresh and exuberant art culminating in a retrospective show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2006 and a solo show at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 2016 with the very appropriate title Theatre of the Domestic. She married the artist, George Woodman...
