We're thrilled to announce that the Newark Museum, New Jersey, has acquired their first Staffel Light Gatherer for the Museum's permanent collection. The Museum has a superb collection of decorative arts in all media, including significant depth in historic and contemporary ceramics.
Chief curator Ulysses Dietz has a broad and deep knowledge of historical American ceramics, which he shares with us in the lavishly illustrated catalogue to his 2003 exhibition Great Pots: Contemporary Ceramics from Function to Fantasy. For a discussion and beautiful illustrations of an earlier period in ceramic history, check out his encore Masterpieces of Art Pottery: 1880-1930.
