Over the past forty-five years, the art historian Frank Nievergelt has assembled an extraordinary collection with passion and discernment which now includes over 900 pieces of contemporary ceramics, be they receptacles, sculptures, decorative objects, or works of monumental dimensions. All the major figures of the international ceramics scene of the twentieth and twenty-first century are represented here.
\nFar from wishing to provide a simple array of ceramicists, Frank Nievergelt has always kept in close and friendly touch with the artists themselves, following their development and in some cases managing to assemble a corpus of works that is representative of their artistic progress.
\nThe present book, published to coincide with an exhibition at Mus\u00e9e Ariana, mus\u00e9e suisse de la c\u00e9ramique et du verre, Geneva, presents the chief works in this collection.<\/p>\n
Anne-Claire Schumacher<\/strong> is a curator at the Mus\u00e9e Ariana in Geneva and the author of several articles and publications associated with the museum, including another book published by 5 Continents Editions, La Manufacture de porcelaine de Langenthal, entre design industriel et vaisselle du dimanche<\/em>, Milan, 2012.<\/p>\n Artists featured: Over the past forty-five years, the art historian Frank Nievergelt has assembled an extraordinary collection with passion and discernment which now includes over 900 pieces of contemporary ceramics, be they receptacles, sculptures, decorative objects, or works of monumental dimensions.
