|

Magdalene Odundo brings together the art of sculpture and the craft of pottery to create striking ceramic vessels, whose resonances range from early Greek Cycladic sculpture to traditional African pottery.
This book is the first full-length publication on the work of an artist who has achieved international recognition for her beautifully restrained ceramic forms. Born in Nairobi in 1950, Magdalene Odundo studied ceramics at the West Surrey College of Art and the Royal College of Art, travelling to Nigeria to research the mix of traditional and western cultural and technological concerns among potters there. She has since travelled widely in Europe, America and Africa, drawing on sources as varied as the pottery of New Mexico, the body art of Central Africa, and the forms of early Greek sculpture. Her work is highly regarded and is represented in major national and private collections worldwide.
Magdalene Odundo provides a complete illustrated catalogue of the artist's work to date. Essays by Simon Olding and Emmanuel Cooper are accompanied by full-page colour reproductions of key works. The book will be widely welcomed by collectors, dealers, curators, art historians and all those with an interest in contemporary studio ceramics.
Anthony Slayter-Ralph is an art consultant and independent curator. Emmanuel Cooper is a potter and critic and Editor of Ceramic Review. Simon Olding is Director of the Crafts Study Centre, Farnham.

| 9814 - RICHARD SLEE |
|
|
Winner of the 2001 Jerwood Applied Arts Prize, Richard Slee (b.1946) is one of the most interesting and significant ceramicists working today.
Richard Slee's ceramics are intriguing, witty and thought provoking. His work is a celebration of the domestic and the familiar, with everyday objects instilled with meaning from personal to social and political issues. His toby jugs, for example, humorously subvert this traditional icon of Englishness to express the current state of the nation.
Coinciding with a major retrospective of Richard Slee's ceramics spanning his career, this book is the definitive study on Slee's work to date and as such will be an invaluable resource for collectors, curators, academics and general enthusiasts alike.
