Annabeth Rosen is a ceramicist, educator and mentor whose formidable, abundant work has extended the trajectory of ceramic forms inherited from Peter Voulkos, Robert Arneson, and Mary Heilmann to new generations of artists. Following the critical success of her traveling survey exhibition, Fired, Gathered, Broken, Heaped, Rosen’s work has been heralded for its sensual immediacy and unbridled scale. Over the past three decades, her distinguished reputation within ceramic communities has progressively gained broader reach and her accomplishment as a sculptor has been increasingly recognized.
Rosen’s ceramic sculptures explore the essential properties of clay, slip and glaze, directly confronting the aesthetic and physical relationships between sculptural form and painterly surface. With its composite materials and chemical properties, her formally intuitive process is enabled by a complex understanding of ceramic history placing her work in the tradition of experimental yet masterful sculptors including Lynda Benglis, and Martin Puryear. From the vantage point of her decades of technical expertise, Rosen’s radicality challenges the historical strictures of the medium by embracing the sculptural fragment and the taboo of “imperfection."

"Each piece that an artist makes asks another question—getting closer not necessarily to an answer, but even better, to the next question."
Annabeth Rosen, 2019
