Greenwich Historical Society is proud to present an exhibition of work by influential ceramic artist, educator and visionary co-founder of Clay Art Center, Katherine Choy (1927-1958). Featuring a selection of Choy’s distinctive and boundary-pushing ceramic vessels alongside never-before-seen photographs, letters, and other archival material, the exhibition charts Katherine Choy’s rapid rise to prominence and influence in the field of American studio ceramics in the mid-1950s, her indelible influence as an educator, and her dedication to forming a cooperative studio space for ceramic artists to thrive in Port Chester, N.Y.
Radical Pots & Cooperative Hands: Katherine Choy and Clay Art Center features artwork loans and research support provided by Clay Art Center. The exhibition is generously supported in part by the Josie Merck Foundation.
