A Cup Sized History of
West Coast Ceramics,

1950s - 1970s

The Henry Art Gallery at the University
of Washington in Seattle is presenting a
small exhibition of humourous ceramic
cups demonstrating a turning point in
the artistic practice of West Coast ceram-
icists in the 1960s and 70s. In part influ-
enced by noted ceramic artists and UW
professors Robert Sperry and Howard
Kottler, the artists seen in “A Cup Sized.
History” sought to move beyond the
convenient tradition of ceramics as craft-
work, These innovative works pointedly
and ironically defied their apparent utili-
tarian origins to become vehicles for
social and political commentary, cheeky
eroticsm, and off-beat visual puns.
