Clay Devotees

Works from the Collection of Marge and Philip Kalodner

Rago, Wright and LAMA are honored to present works from the collection of Marge and Philip Kalodner. The Kalodners have been avid supporters of artists and institutions committed to clay, including The Clay Studio in Philadelphia through the Marge Brown Kalodner Graduate Student Exhibition, which has run continuously since 2013. Over four decades, the Kalodners fervently sought to collect the best examples of contemporary clay, with an encompassing eye for an artist's vision and virtuoso skill. The result is a rich and vibrant collection showcasing the best talent in the field of twentieth century and contemporary ceramics including Viola Frey, Kathy Butterly, Sergei Isupov, Michael Lucero, and Jean-Pierre Larocque.

Everything that surrounds and excites me is automatically processed and transformed into an artwork. The essence of my work is not in the medium or the creative process, but in the human beings and their incredible diversity.
