Dallas, Nasher Sculpture Center, September 21, 2013 - January 19, 2014

In the fall of 2013 the Nasher Sculpture Center presented Return to Earth: Ceramic Sculpture of Fontana, Melotti, Miró, Noguchi, and Picasso, 1943-1963, the first exhibition to explore the increase in interest ceramics received from artists of the avant-garde during this period. Responding to a variety of personal impulses and historical circumstances, Lucio Fontana, Fausto Melotti, Joan Miró, Isamu Noguchi, and Pablo Picasso produced significant bodies of work in fired clay that engaged the material in novel, inventive, even radical ways, and often challenged the boundaries between sculpture and ceramics. The Nasher’s exhibition offered an in-depth look at some 70 ceramic works, ranging in scale from the intimate to the monumental. In most cases, these objects have received scant attention in comparison to these artists’ work in other media, particularly in the United States.
