Sacramento, CA

This extensive exhibition of contemporary ceramics affords a remarkable opportunity to view dozens of works by many of America's best known artists working in clay.

Titled The Elaine and Sidney Cohen Collection of Contemporary Ceramics features approximately 60 works by more than two dozen artists, many of whom extend the traditional boundaries of clay.  Examples range from the bold minimalism of Jun Kaneko and Claude Conover to the figurative exuberance of Rudy Autio and Edwin and Mary Scheier.

All of the works in this exhibition have been donated by Elaine and Sidney Cohen of Phoenix, Arizona to the Crocker's permanent collection.
