For more than 60 years, Karen Karnes (1925 - ) has been at the forefront of the studio pottery movement. Over her long career, she has created some of the most iconic pottery of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. She has worked at some of the most significant cultural settings of her generation including North Carolina’s avant-garde Black Mountain College in the 1950s.
This exhibition is only traveling to four museums. I'm impressed to see that the Asheville Art Museum is one of the four. See you at the opening!
