This exhibition presents a selection of 65 of the ceramics created by Pablo Picasso in collaboration with George and Suzanne Ramie and the artisans at the Madoura Pottery workshop in Vallauris, Southern France, between the years of 1947 and 1971.
Pablo Picasso was long intrigued by ceramics. After seeing the works of the Madoura potters at a crafts fair in 1946, he asked the Ramies, who operated the studio, to provide him with the opportunity to work with ceramics. The Ramies set aside studio space for Picasso to pot whenever he had the opportunity.
This exhibition was curated by Gerald Norland, noted author and independent curator, and former director of the San Francisco Art Museum, The Milwaukee Art Museum, and The Wright Gallery, UCLA.
