Dear Friends, On behalf of The Clay Studio Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to welcome you to It’s All About Ruth! A Celebration of Collecting Craft in Philadelphia. Every two years The Clay Studio holds a gala and auction to benefit our artistic and educational mission. We could not be happier to be honoring our dear friend, colleague, and longtime supporter Ruth Snyderman with this year’s event. Ruth has been a force in the world of craft for more than 40 years. She led the charge in preserving the dynamic arts communities of South Street in the 1960’s and 70’s, and was instrumental, along with The Clay Studio, in revitalizing the Old City District in the 1990’s. All the while she has mounted landmark exhibitions in craft and helped to develop the careers of countless craft artists. Many of those artists are represented here in the auction, and we are grateful for their support. The Clay Studio is grateful to the many people who have helped make this evening special: the Honorary Committee for your thoughtful and generous support; the artists, collectors and supporters for your kind and generous donations; and The Clay Studio staff and volunteers for your tireless dedication. I would like to extend a special thank you to Honorary CoChairs Julia and Isaiah Zagar for their enthusiastic support, to Co-Chairs Ami Snyderman and Clara Hollander for their energetic work on behalf of The Clay Studio, to event designers Jim Fulton and Eric Rymshaw, and to the entire Event Committee. Finally, thank you to all of you for supporting It’s All About Ruth! and joining us for this fantastic celebration. Enjoy your evening! Peace and Love! Therese M. Obringer Chair, The Clay Studio Board of Directors 5

Dear Friends, Welcome to Its All About Ruth! A Celebration of Collecting Craft in Philadelphia. We are excited to be honoring such a special woman, Ruth Snyderman, for all of her contributions to The Clay Studio and to the field of craft. Ruth has helped save South Street and revitalize Old City, served on the board of The Clay Studio, and helped to build some incredible collections of craft around the country. We always trust her eye and her artists, and we are so grateful for her work! Thank you, Ruth! The Clay Studio has served the community for nearly 40 years. Whether you engage in our programming through classes, exhibitions, lectures, or the Claymobile, you know that we have a deep dedication to education in the traditional and contemporary ceramic arts. This year we are embarking on an updated strategic plan that will chart a direction for the organization into the future. We look forward to serving the community for many years to come!

RUTH SNYDERMAN My own Megillah in honor of Ruth Megillat Ruth: And it came to pass, in the days of old, in the exciting Craft Field, there was an ambitious and talented woman called Ruth... She opened a store in the artsy section of Philly and declared to all, "Where I goest you should come and my collections should be your collections." And the people gathered and reaped from Ruth's selection of objects. Ruth prospered and grew and moved anew, and it had been fully told that she hast done much for others and they bowed their heads to her and honored her. And it came to pass, that it was time for recognition of her contribution to the Arts in Craft and the artists that she nurtured. The Lord granted that this woman who has built up so much will be blessed. All the best, affectionately, a longtime supporter

Ruth Snyderman has been a longtime friend and supporter of The Clay Studio and a fixture in the world of contemporary craft for more than 40 years. She has served as an advisor to The Clay Studio, a member of the Board of Directors, and a member of the Special Events Committee. As a champion of makers in ceramics, glass, wood, fiber and jewelry, Ruth has helped to launch the careers of countless artists, including many past Resident Artists at The Clay Studio. Ruth is a true advocate for the arts and artists in Philadelphia, nationally and internationally. 10

Ruth founded The Works Gallery in 1965. Today, it is one of the oldest galleries in the country exhibiting contemporary studio crafts. The Works Gallery’s early location on Philadelphia’s famous South Street made Ruth an active member of that area’s vibrant community of artists, grassroots activists and community organizers. She was a founder of the “South Street Renaissance” that revitalized the neighborhood and was instrumental in saving the area from being split by a proposed highway in the 1970’s.

Ruth’s husband, Rick Snyderman, joined her in the operation of The Works Gallery in 1972. In 1983, they co-founded a second operation, The Snyderman Gallery. During the 1980’s both galleries became leaders in the field of contemporary craft and mounted many landmark exhibitions. The two galleries merged into Snyderman-Works Galleries in 1996. By then located in the Old City neighborhood, Ruth again deployed her community organizing skills, along with The Clay Studio, to help develop Old City into the arts and culture hub that it is today.

In service to the craft community, Ruth has been a juror, a panelist, a speaker and a curator. She has had speaking engagements from Ireland to Australia and throughout the United States. Ruth’s present board affiliations include The Painted Bride Art Center and Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts, and she serves as the treasurer of the Old City Arts Association. The Clay Studio is honored to salute Ruth Snyderman and her legacy in the world of craft. 12

13. William Daley Pennsylvania Janus Cistern

Stoneware, 22" L x 22" W x 11.5" H Value $30,000 Courtesy of the artist We are thrilled to have the opportunity to offer this very special new piece from William Daley, in honor of Ruth Snyderman. Daley is an acclaimed ceramic artist and much loved educator, a great friend of The Clay Studio, and dear friend of Ruth. His work can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Art and Design, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, among many others. Beginning this evening, Janus Cistern will be available for purchase with a minimum bid of $20,000. It will continue to be available for bidding until June 1st, or until we find the perfect home for this one of a kind work. Contact gala2013@theclaystudio.org if you are interested in placing a bid. From William Daley: “This pot, Janus Cistern, is named after the Celtic time-god Janus, whom the Romans appropriated for the month of January. It is made in a time like theirs, of looking both to the past and the future simultaneously. The pot is a Cistern because it collects water and delivers it to an inside source. I see it as a vessel for the celebration of libation, delivering two qualities into one substance. (My personal preference is a joining of Bushmills and Jameson.) “The material is stoneware clay which will be fired to cone 6. The rim is embedded with black and white aggregates which will be ground with diamond pads after firing. As all mud people know, all outcomes are provisional to the Kiln God’s door opening.” 16

Live Auction Saturday March 16, 2013

1. Lauren Mabry

Current Resident Artist, Pennsylvania Cylinder Terracotta, glaze, 12" x 9" D Value $850 Courtesy of the artist Lauren Mabry is currently living and working as a studio artist in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as a long term resident at The Clay Studio. Mabry is originally from Madison, Wisconsin, where she began working with ceramics as a high school student. Pursuing a career as an artist, she received her BFA in ceramics from Kansas City Art Institute in 2007 and her MFA from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln in 2012. She has also studied abroad in KecskemĂŠt, Hungary at the International Ceramics Studio. Mabry has previously held residencies at The Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, MT and the Carbondale Clay Center. Mabry has work in permanent collections at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS and The Sheldon Museum of Art, Lincoln, NE.

2. Doug Herren

Resident Artist, 1996-2000, Pennsylvania Industria-Ware Teapot Stoneware with paint, 14" x 8" x 14" Value $2,600 Donated by the artist, courtesy of Snyderman-Works Galleries Doug Herren received his BFA from Wichita State University, Wichita, KS in 1988 and his MFA from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA in 1992. He has been teaching ceramics at art centers, colleges and universities since earning his MFA, and has held artist residencies at The Clay Studio and at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, MT. Herren’s current work derives from his training as a functional potter. He creates oversized vessel forms, such as teapots, vases, and platters, which are infused with an industrial sensibility and aesthetic. Herren departs from his past work, he says, in his treatment of surface: “Rather than using traditional pottery glazes for finishing, I strive to replicate the surfaces of abandoned machinery. Here I employ sign-painter's paints in multiple layers applied over a black-matte glazed surface. Then I scrub the surfaces with steel wool to erode and distress planes and edges, exposing under-layers of color. The result actually gives an extra punch to the overall color palette.” While Herren’s work explores themes of abandonment and decay, the final result actually comes off as something more playful and boisterous.

3. Isaiah Zagar Pennsylvania Isaiah, 1986

Color Offset lithograph, numbered 46/100, Image Sheet: 29 15/16" x 21.75", Framed: 37" x 27.5", Edition 100, 20 artist's proofs, Printer: Robert W. Franklin, Printed at Brandywine Workshop. Value $500 Courtesy of the artist Isaiah Zagar is an award-winning mosaic mural artist whose work can be found on over 100 public walls throughout the city of Philadelphia and around the world. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Brooklyn, Zagar received his BFA in Painting and Graphics at the Pratt Institute of Art in New York City. When he was 19 years old, Zagar discovered the folk art installations of Clarence Schmidt in Woodstock, New York. Influenced by Schmidt, Picasso, Jean Debuffet, Curt Schwitters, Antonio Gaudi, Simon Rodia and Joseph Ferdinand Cheval, he was inspired to include the concepts of untrained artists as manifestations of fine art. Zagar's artwork is heavily influenced by his travels and the personal connections he has made with international folk and visionary artists. His work is included in the permanent collections of numerous art institutions, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, and the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., and has been featured in solo exhibitions throughout the Philadelphia area. Zagar has held artist residencies in Tianjin, China; Rajisthan, India; and the Kohler Ceramic Factory in Wisconsin. He has gained recognition in various films and publications, most notably in the 2008 documentary In A Dream, created by his son, Jeremiah Zagar. 20

4. Chris Staley Pennsylvania Lidded Container

Porcelain, 10" x 11" x 6" estimated value: $1,800 - $2,200 Donated by the artist, courtesy of Snyderman-Works Galleries Chris Staley is a distinguished professor of Ceramic Arts at Penn State University and is currently the Penn State laureate for 2012-2013. He received his BFA from Wittenberg University in 1977 and his MFA from Alfred University in 1980. Over the past 25 years Staley has taught countless workshops from Bezalel Academy in Israel to Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine. Staley has had numerous one-person exhibitions across the US, many of which were at the highly regarded Garth Clark Gallery in New York City.

Staley’s writings, including the article “How a Handmade Cup can Save the World,” are featured in numerous publications ranging from ceramics periodicals to books on the art of form. 21

5. Cathy Rose

Louisiana More Than You Know Ceramic, wood, mixed media, 56" x 35" x 12" Value $4,200 Donated by the artist, courtesy of Snyderman-Works Galleries Cathy Rose has been a mixed media artist for 20 years. With a background in drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture and pottery, she is attracted to the challenges in using a variety of materials and methods. Rose is strongly influenced by primitive and outsider art, which is known to combine and alter found objects. She is also interested in sculpting the human form. Rose begins her work in porcelain, molding each figure or parts individually, without the use of casts or molds. After the firing process she assembles the porcelain with various wood shapes to form the figures. “My work is personal in nature,” says Rose, “drawing on my own experience and emotions, influenced by situations and events, making each piece a unique journalizing process for me. I sense that is why many people are drawn to my work, a recognition of a shared experience, a connection without words. This connection has been the most fulfilling part of my career as an artist.”

6. Wesley Anderegg California

Lady with Red Dress Ceramic, 24" x 18" x 3.5" value: $1,500 Donated by the artist, courtesy of Snyderman-Works Galleries Wesley Anderegg received his B.S. in Geography from Arizona State University in Tempe, and has been a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in Helena, Montana and at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado. His work is included in such collections as the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian, the Mint Museum of Craft and Design, and the Fredrick R. Weisman Museum, among others. “I have always been a people watcher,” says Anderegg. “In the first grade I did not play with the other kids. I stood back and watched. And I have been watching ever since. I watch what people do and imagine what they might like to do. Life and society are such that we cannot always say and do what we like. However, in the imaginary world in which my ceramic people live, they can. At the dawn of mankind, primitive peoples fashioned clay objects. They sculpted about what they knew and wanted. Pregnant women and animals were the hot topics of the day. I think of my work much the same way. Though the topics may be different, I feel a link to those old people sitting around playing with this beautifully plastic material.” 23

7. Byung-joo Suh

Resident Artist, 1999-2001, British Columbia, Canada The Ride of the Story Teller Stoneware, 28" x 21.5" x 6" Value $5,500 Courtesy of Snyderman-Works Galleries Born in Seoul, Byung-joo Suh was the 1999-2000 recipient of The Clay Studio’s Evelyn Shapiro Foundation Fellowship. He received both his BFA and MFA in Ceramics from the Seoul National University, Korea. At that time, Suh’s work was based on fantasy and allegory, with fairy tales and folk stories providing him rich source material. These stories, dealing with universal life lessons and complex emotions, were then recreated by Suh in his his exquisitely wrought sculptures. Suh’s current work exploits his two primary influences of Surrealism and classical sculpture. The stances of his figures, as well as the overall compositions, are rooted in a classical tradition and are mixed with elements of fantasy. Through this mix of realism and fantasy, he creates imaginary narratives conjured up within his own mind. He thinks of his sculptures as three dimensional movie posters that contain those essential elements that set a tone and define a look. Like a movie poster, the work provides enough information to catch you and imply direction, but never enough to give the entire story away. Suh provides enough information to lead you down his path, leaving at a certain point. He allows you to travel the rest of the journey alone, ending at your own destination. 24

8. Seigoh Maeda Japan Box with Iris Decoration

Stoneware with inlaid glaze, 3.5" x 9" x 9" Value $1,120 Courtesy of The Clay Studio Seigoh Maeda received his BA in ceramics from the Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music in 1993, studying under Sakusuke Kato and Junichi Nagaike. He established his studio and kiln in Okazaki, Aichi, Japan in 1999, and since that time has established himself as an important maker exhibiting at venues throughout Japan. A permanent member of the Japan Arts Craft Association, his work was acquired for the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2003. Maeda’s work contemporizes centuries old ceramic traditions and is inspired by the flora and fauna of his native Japan. Maeda writes, “Climate irregularities continue around the world recently. Living in a mountainside village, I am inevitably affected by such abnormal weather, making me acutely aware of the fact that I am indeed a part of nature. Still, even with occasional deviations from the calendar, flowers, insects, and birds never forget to bring colors to each season. Japanese nature is humble, yet powerful, gentle, yet tough and most of all, beautiful. Using gifts of nature such as clay, minerals, and wood ash, daily I strive to somehow express in my works the random moments in which nature touched my heart.” 25

9. Garry Knox Bennett California Double Face

Colorcore, brass, taxidermy eyes, brass, silver and copper plate, 15.5" x 6" x .5" Value $1,600 Donated by the artist, courtesy of Snyderman-Works Galleries Garry Knox Bennett is an internationally known furniture maker working in Oakland, CA. He attended the California College of Arts and Crafts, where he learned to paint and sculpt. In the 1960’s, he used the skills he learned to found a metal plating business, specializing in handmade jewelry. In the 1970’s he began making clocks, which expanded into furniture design. He is most well known for his chairs and use of conventional woods and unusual materials such as plywood, aluminum, steel, and plastics. A major retrospective of Bennett’s work was initiated at the Museum of Art and Design, NY in January 2001, which included a venue at the Oakland Museum in California. Bennett has taught and lectured extensively in the U.S. as well as in Canada, Australia and the UK. Bennett received the 2004 Award of Distinction from The Furniture Society, is a Fellow of the American Craft Council, and in 2011 received the James Renwick Alliance Master of the Medium award in Washington, DC. Bennett’s work is represented in many private collections as well as the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, De Young Museum, the Mint Museum of Craft and Design, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. 26

Guest Artist-in-Residence, Peter Beard, England

Raise your hand for The Clay Studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guest Artist-in-Residence Program Primarily international in focus, our Guest Artist-in-Residence Program provides two-month residencies (six each year) for experimentation and project-based creation for emerging, mid-career and mature artists. Since its inception in 1990, more than 100 artists from over 40 countries have been hosted by The Clay Studio. These international visitors add immeasurably to our creative community in sharing cross-cultural perspectives, different traditions and creative vocabularies. Our Guest Artists are provided with an apartment directly across the street from The Clay Studio, 24-hour access to their studio space in the school, a materials stipend, and a monthly living stipend. The program encourages our visiting artists to use their time for experimentation, exploring ideas and/or materials that their normal studio practice does not allow for. As a result, our Guest Residency serves as a launch pad for new bodies of work. The infusion of international, emerging, mid-career and mature perspectives is an invaluable component of The Clay Studio's creative community. One month, we will welcome a ceramic sculptor from Sweden, watch her new techniques, and learn about the cultural influences in her work during the lecture she presents. Sixty days later, we will have an entirely new experience with a Spanish tile maker. This constant change in the Guest Artist-in-Residence Program brings regular cycles of fresh energy into all corners of our community for residents, students, collectors, and staff.

11. Richard Kagan Pennsylvania Untitled

Gelatin silver print, selenium toned 2/25, 22" x 26" x 5" Value $1,750 Donated by the artist, courtesy of Snyderman-Works Galleries Richard Kagan was born in Philadelphia in 1945 and followed a circuitous path to become a photographer. He bought his first camera and began doing street photography while a student at Temple University. However, after leaving college in 1965 to practice Zen Buddhism in New York City, he became so impressed with the silent eloquence of handmade objects he pawned the camera to buy woodworking tools. After two years of apprenticeships, he opened his own shop in 1972 where he designed and made one-of-a-kind and limited production furniture. In the late 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, he decided to return to school to study his earlier love, photography, thus bringing him back to where he started. Not surprisingly, Kagan brought to photography some of the same aesthetic concerns with which he had made furniture, among them a quest for quiet, understated, elegant forms. His two main bodies of work are landscapes, done primarily in Europe, and austere portraits of tools and objects. He works exclusively in black and white, using traditional darkroom techniques. Kagan has had 15 solo photography exhibitions in the U.S., Britain, and South America, and articles about his work have appeared in Black & White magazine and the Photo Review. Kagan's work is represented in public and private collections including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Washington Convention Center, Lehigh University and others. 29

12. Edward Eberle Pennsylvania Three Bowls

Porcelain, sgrafitto 4 "x 14", 3" x 9.5", 2.75" x 8" Value $3,200 Courtesy of The Clay Studio After receiving his MFA from Alfred University in 1972, Edward Eberle taught at the Philadelphia College of Art and at Carnegie Mellon University for a total of fourteen years. In 1985, Eberle established his studio in the Millvale section of Pittsburgh, where he worked as a studio artist in ceramics and drawing until February 2010. Eberleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early work is well potted and characteristically scored, and decorated in black and white. His later work is more classical in design, but on altered forms.
