Bio:
Kurt Weiser was born in 1950 in
Lansing Michigan. He studied ceramics under Ken Fergusen at the Kansas City Art
Institute from 1972-76 and then completed an MFA at the University of Michigan.
In 1988, after a stint as Director
of the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, MT, Weiser started teaching ceramics
at Arizona State University, where he has held the position of Regents'
Professor of Art since August 2000.
Weiser began his career making
sculptural porcelain vessels, but soon turned his attention to painting on
porcelain. Weiser's allegorical scenes, painted in a natural realism style on
his distinctive vessel forms have since then become easily recognizable works
of a porcelain painting master.
His work has been acquired by many
institutions around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in
London, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American Art, the
National Museum of History in Taiwan, the Museum of Contemporary Ceramic Art
and Institute of Ceramics, Shigaraki, Japan, the Los Angeles County Art Museum,
the Carnegie Mellon University and others.
Kurt Weiser is represented by Garth
Clark Gallery, NY.
