The UBS PaineWebber Art Gallery in New York City, New York is displaying Syracuse's Everson Museum of Art ceramics collection. The display, titled “Clay Works: 20th-Century American Ceramics From the Everson Museum of Art,” is composed mostly of ceramics from the 20th century.
The show begins with works from the turn-of-the-century, including works from Adelaide Alsop Robineau (1865-1929) of Syracuse. Robineau's pottery was the first pottery of the Everson Museum's ceramic collection that was started by Fernando Carter, then Director of the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts (now the Everson Museum of Art). The Everson Museum's ceramic collection, which focuses primarily on American ceramics from the pre-Columbian era to present, has since grown to encompass works from the second millennium B.C. to the present, ancient China and Greece to the present day Africa and the United States.
Grace Gueck author of the New York Times article, a "Glimpse of the Ceramics Trove Collected by a Syracuse Museum", writes, “…the show provides a useful briefing on the Everson's hard-won collection and a spur for visiting the museum itself. For ceramics lovers, Syracuse isn't all that far.” To find out more about the Everson Museum of Art and it collections click here .
