Studio Ceramics
Collector’s pieces to discover
Since its founding nearly thirty years ago now, through exhibitions mainly showing art committed to the medium of ceramics Galerie Angelika Metzger has earned an unmistakable reputation as a premier address for presenting this particular area of contemporary art practice.
With the courage to dare and experiment, the programme of temporary personal shows has hitherto – almost as a matter of course – brought together such diverse genres: Studio Ceramics devotes itself to the vessel that has now lost form-related function as well as to freely created sculpture. Thus in the widest sense fine and applied art unite.
Success justifies this commitment. Time and again, it has become evident that the once so strictly defined demarcation between the genres has long become fluid and that enjoyable transgressions from one area to the other occur with the greatest aesthetic gain.
Now, in addition to temporary exhibitions with works of contemporary artists, and from managing the estate of the œuvre of ceramic sculptor Klaus Lehmann (1927 – 2016), the gallery is now about to expand its offering and, via its website, will be presenting older ceramics of first class provenance, vessels as well as sculptures.
Already-classic West German studio ceramics of the postwar decades from the 1960s until the turn of the millennium will be presented along side works by East German, European and international artists devoted to firing plastic earths.
You will be able to discover collectors’ pieces, for instance by Beate Kuhn, Ute Brade, Horst Kerstan, Karl Scheid or Gotlind Weigel, but also ceramic art from Claude Champy or Margaret and Eddie Curtis.
The range will continue to be restricted and to evolve. We warmly recommended you to stop by from time to time.
And if you yourself own quality ceramics you wish to sell, please contact us in confidence and without obligation. Angelika Metzger
