Ken Price is featured in Scripps College’s Pacific Standard Time exhibition Clay’s Tectonic Shift: John Mason, Ken Price, and Peter Voulkos, 1956–1968, which opens this Saturday! 

Los Angeles was the site of a “revolution in clay” in which a small group of artists challenged studio pottery’s traditional focus on utilitarian ware to create sculptural forms. The exhibition and catalog, Clay’s Tectonic Shift, focus on three artists—Mason, Price and Voulkos—who, in the late 1950s and 1960s, emerged as sculptors, creating new works in clay that claimed equal footing with art in other media. Although each of these sculptors has been featured in solo shows or larger group exhibitions, this project is the first to feature their work together through key pieces that mark their emerging sculptural styles from 1956 to 1968.

The exhibition will run from January 21 - April 8, 2012.

This will be an exciting year for Ken Price, whose retrospective opens at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on September 16, 2012. Don’t miss what Christopher Knight describes as one of the most anticipated exhibitions of 2012!
