Ken Price redefined ceramics in contemporary art. He demonstrated how clay could be both visually captivating and conceptually rich, while also challenging conventional boundaries of the material. Over his more than 50-year career, Price became known for his innovative glazing techniques, distinctive forms, and a wide range of references – from organic and geological forms to Mexican folk art and surf culture. In addition to his sculptures, Price was also a skilled illustrator.
