The Newark Museum

100 Masterpieces of Art Pottery, 1880-1930  
September 23, 2009 through January 10, 2010

Following the idea of ceramics as art from the Aesthetic Movement of the 1880s to its evolution into studio pottery by the outset of the Great Depression, this exhibition features the Museum's internationally known collection of art pottery (circa 1880 to 1930). The Newark Museum's collection of modern ceramics was begun in 1910, the year after the Museum's founding, with an exhibition entitled simply Modern American Pottery. The centennial project will highlight one hundred pieces of pottery and porcelain, including American and Native American as well as European and Asian ceramics. The exhibition will be entirely drawn from the Museum's own collection, with the exception of two loans from the American Decorative Arts 1900 Foundation.
