Summary:

In a culture that has embraced contemporary studio pottery wholeheartedly, surprisingly few books have explored the best ceramic works of the last century in a large, full-color format. Great Pots does exactly this under the guidance of Ulysses Grant Dietz, the acclaimed curator of decorative arts at The Newark Museum. Great Pots focuses on the museum's collection of 20th-century vessels, which is legendary for its age, diversity, quality and continuity. Two hundred gorgeous color images were shot specifically for this book by art photographer Richard Goodbody.
