https://www.facebook.com/events/1608394716126858/ARTBOOK @ Hauser Wirth & Schimmel and University of Chicago Press invite you to celebrate the publication of Live Form: Women, Ceramics, and Community and for a talk and book signing with author and co-curator of Revolution in the Making: Abstract Sculpture by Women 1947—2016, Jenni Sorkin. In Live Form, Sorkin focuses on three Americans who promoted ceramics as an advanced artistic medium: Marguerite Wildenhain, Mary Caroline (M. C.) Richards, and Susan Peterson. Far from being an isolated field, ceramics offered a sense of community and social engagement, which, Sorkin argues, crucially set the stage for later participatory forms of art and feminist collectivism.
