Through ceramic works produced at the Villeroy & Boch factory in Mettlach, Germany, “A Change in Our Nature” traces the evolving conceptualization of nature amid industrialization.
The Villeroy & Boch company was founded in 1836 through a merger between two competing ceramics factories owned by Nicolas Villeroy (1759-1843) and Jean François Boch (1782-1858). The company went on to pioneer the combination of art and industry with a staff of skilled artisans whose innovative works provide a glimpse into life in industrial-era Germany and its changing relationship with the natural landscape.
