Average Customer Ratings:
The successful 500 series shines a spotlight on today’s most breathtaking ceramic sculptures. Selected from more than 8,000 entries by the distinguished art critic, historian, and professor Glen R. Brown—an elected member of the International Academy of Ceramics in Geneva—these exquisite works will inspire both beginning and professional ceramists, as well as collectors and enthusiasts. They include Esther Shimazu’s hand-built, Asian-influenced nudes; Von Venhuizen’s mixed-media, wheel-thrown stoneware, and Katy’s Rush’s slip-cast and press-molded porcelain. Every work is amazing.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Another Great "500" Book -
I have a total of five of the '500' books, but this one is my favorite. I am a ceramics sculptor and this is so inspiring. The artists represented in 500 Ceramic Sculptures range from cartoonists to fine artists. That is the beauty of ceramics; it can become pretty much anything you can imagine. If you love ceramics or sculpture or art in general, you will love owning this book.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
500 Series: Ceramic Sculptures -
Beautiful book, gorgeous photographs of unique and beautiful pieces. Highly recommended. Hundreds of different artists, sculptures for all tastes. Hours of page flipping, lots of great inspirational ideas.
contemporary ceramic sculptures -
Contemporary ceramic sculptures would also be a great name for this book. This is not a how to book but rather shows many different versions of what can be done, and is being done, with ceramics. I love all the 500 series art books.
didn't meet my expectations -
This book was purchased to show my ceramic students and I thought it was less than inspiring images of ceramic arts.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
I was disappointed and you might be too -
I was looking for a survey of contemporary ceramic sculpture and I thought any book claiming to have 500 images of them should be able to cover all the bases pretty well. Not so.
After buying the book and reading the fine print I learned that it's a compilation of photos from a juried competition (i.e. only those who submitted photos were considered and, of those, only the ones selected by the single, idiosyncratic juror made it into the book). Forget comprehensiveness here. Although there is some good work shown, I found more representation of the "icky/creepy" school of ceramics than I needed.
And where are the bright lights of the ceramic sculpture world? Where is Betty Woodman, Sueharu Fukami, Andrew Lord, Ken Price, Viola Frey, Wouter Dam, Ruth Duckworth, etc., etc.? Not in this book.
If you're looking for a wider, more comprehensive view of this subject I'd recommend Postmodern Ceramics by Mark Del Vecchio or Color and Fire by Jo Lauria.
