[edit] ARTFUL TEAPOT
The teapot has been called one of the key fetish objects of our time and its form has become not only an icon but an inventive vehicle for artistic expression. This study surveys its 500-year history and examines how the teapot has drawn attention from designers and artists.
The Artful Teapot examines the chameleonlike form of the teapot and how it has become not only an icon but an inventive vehicle for artistic expression. The teapot has drawn widespread attention from the world's leading designers and artists because it is what the sculptor and installation artist, Arman, calls 'one of the key fetish objects of our time'. More than 250 teapots are reproduced here in colour in this survey, in which the subject's 500-year history is represented by key works from Yixing, Meissen, Wedgwood and other producers, providing the historical background for its main focus: the creations of such leading 20th-century artists and designers as Bernard Leach, David Hockney and Keith Haring, many of which are displayed in every imaginable medium, shape, size and colour. In the accompanying text, the pre-eminent scholar of modern ceramics, Garth Clark, provides an analysis of these works that is as provocative and profound as the teapots themselves. This book has a firm captive audience of amateurs and professionals alike from the worlds of art and design, but also capitalizes on its fetishistic subject matter to appeal much more widely.
