About the Item

Degener worked in a variety of media - painting, drawing, words - but pottery was her great love. She won numerous awards for her ceramics beginning with the Young Americans competition in 1953. Her work was exhibited at the St. Louis Art Museum. Degener taught art for years in the St. Louis school system and founded several art organizations including The Craft Alliance, a gallery and crafts cooperative, started in 1964. She was known in St. Louis for bringing art to poor, inner-city youths, through an organization funded by grants that taught a variety of arts including ceramics, dance, photography, painting and others. She felt that nobody should be denied art due to the economic standing. She felt art could bridge gender, racial, generational and other gaps. She taught pottery classes in her garage on Saturdays that turned neighborhood children on to the art form. Ms. Degener became interior design writer of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1969; in 1980, she became the paper's art critic. She retired in 1990, which left her more time to spend in Cape May and Martha's Vineyard, two of her favorite places.

Marcello Fantoni Ceramic Vase for Raymor
By Marcello Fantoni
Located in Dallas, TX
Marcello Fantoni (1915-2011) sculptor, ceramicist, metalworker, multi-media artist and designer Born in Florence in 1915, Marcello Fantoni began studying ceramic art at age 12 at the Art Institute of Florence with ceramicist Carlo Guerrini, artistic director of the famed Cantagalli Factory. He continued years of training in ceramics and the arts, including sculpture with Libero Andreotti and Bruno Innocenti, and figurative art with Gianni Vagnetti, graduating as a maestro of art in 1934. After a stint as art director for a ceramics factory in Perugia, in 1936 he opened the Fantoni Ceramic Studio in Florence. Here he produced ceramic series as well as unique pieces, sculptures and furnishings. In 1937 Fantoni’s pieces were exhibited in the Florence National Arts and Crafts Exhibit where their unique combination of rustic forms decorated with African and marine motifs and painted figures garnered considerable acclaim. By the start of World War II Fantoni’s melding of ancient Italian pottery techniques with decidedly Modernist elements had won him artistic and commercial success both in Italy and abroad. Having participated in the resistance, after the War Fantoni worked for the 500-year old Maiolica factory in Deruta, Umbria, renowned for its signature tin-glazed pottery.
