Over the past few years, ceramics has enjoyed a remarkable comeback, grabbing the limelight on the contemporary arts stage. Supported by a string of pioneering artists who have gradually and largely contributed to its revival (Johan Creten, Miquel Barceló, Grayson Perry, Klara Kristalova, Carolein Smit and Anne Wenzel), ceramics has been given a new lease of life.
As such, it is crossing over into the practices of contemporary artists, opening the field to new experiments and being showcased by contemporary art galleries. Ubiquitous in artists’ studios, in international centres and museums, ceramics is in a constant state of (r)evolution, subject to multiple influences and practices, possessed by the Zeitgeist and driven by a varied and high-quality scene.
