Don Reitz was a visionary — one of the most innovative twentieth-century ceramic artists, who revolutionized the forms, structures, and techniques of clay.

This retrospective exhibition features seventy-eight avant-garde works on loan from the Reitz estate and private collections.

A fully-illustrated, color monograph with essays by Peter Held, Glenn Adamson, and Brent Reitz is available for sale.

Thanks to Brent & Jennifer Reitz, Donna Reitz, and the Don Reitz Collection.
