January 15 — March 20, 2010

Organized by Arizona State University Art Museum Ceramic Research Center, this mid-career retrospective examines the stylistic development of Kurt Weiser’s ceramic work from the 1970s to the present. Internationally recognized as a contemporary ceramist and educator, Weiser is known for his technical virtuosity with porcelain forms and his use of china painting techniques in a distinct contemporary style. His subject matter illustrates lush, mysterious landscapes and distorted narratives set amidst color-saturated flora and fauna that read as voyeuristic candid snapshots of the human condition. The exhibition is comprised of 35 ceramic objects and drawings acquired from the artist’s holdings, the Ceramic Research Center’s collection, and public and private collections around the country.
