Danish Studio Ceramics 1950-2010 is the prosaic title of this catalogue of Designmuseum Danmark''s collection of unique ceramic works from the sixty-year period covering the post-war years and leading up to the present. The catalogue describes 632 works by 133 ceramicists and artists, and in doing so gives an overview of the diversity and high quality of Danish ceramics. This process documents and throws into relief the paradigmatic shift which has taken place since the 1980s, when handmade functional ceramic articles for domestic use began to be overtaken by free sculptural forms of expression, and at the same time the centre of gravity in this field began to move from a nationally rooted central basis towards extended interaction with the international ceramic scene. The aim of this catalogue is to provide a nuanced depiction of a remarkable epoch in the history of Danish ceramics, as represented in Designmuseum Danmark''s collections, which have not previously been documented in a comprehensive form and which have only been exhibited on a limited scale. Lavishly illustrated with more than three hundred ceramic items, this volume is a treasure trove for scholars and collectors.
