3 KERAMIKERE KAREN BENNICKE, PEDER RASMUSSEN, BENTE HANSEN.

Author: Gerd Bloxham Zettersten
Year: 1995
Country or State of Origin: Denmark

This is an elegant analysis of the work of three of Denmark’s masters of contemporary ceramic art. From salt-glazing, to the development of the raku-fired vase, from organic, “soft,” curved lines to sharp, linear geometry, whether the emphasis is on texture or form or function, each artist offers a unique and exciting contribution to the field. Of special interest are Karen Bennicke’s “Split Pyramid”, Bente Hansen’s “Functional Teapot” and “Folded Vessel” and Peder Rasmussen’s brilliant, mulit-colored vases.
