From the earliest work out of Montana to the monumental late sculpture, Peter Voulkos (1924-2002) established himself as the leader of a revolution in ceramics. In her obituary for The New York Times, Roberta Smith wrote:
“Firmly grounded as a craftsman, Mr.Voulkos went on to reinvent ceramics as a meeting ground for painting and sculpture. During his 50-year career Mr. Voulkos was influential as a thinker, teacher and fearless innovator who followed a constantly changing course.”
