Several Don Reitz sculptures, courtesey of Lucy Lacoste Gallery, now on view at New Bedford Art Museum for their exhibition: Radical Reinvention: Contemporary Ceramic Sculpture.
"Radical Reinvention: Contemporary Ceramic Sculpture presents the work of artists who have redefined the possibilities of ceramics as a medium for sculpture. The exhibition showcases works that push the boundaries of material, form, and cultural interpretation and highlights the cross-over of ceramics from the worlds of utility and craft into the mainstream of contemporary art. The exhibition features innovative pieces influenced by ceramic practice and bodies of knowledge from diverse cultures—Ancient Egypt and Greece, Portugal, Southeast Asia—while incorporating contemporary sensibilities, themes, and ideas."
