*5208 $aContemporary ceramicists are using cutting-edge technology, conceptual thinking and new platforms to push the boundaries of clay and broaden its appeal. A generation is emerging whose work is irreverent, playful and radical - but also beautiful - while established avant-garde ceramicists are gaining broader recognition. This book, a companion volume to Unravelled and Threads, explores the work of ninety artists at the vanguard of this movement. Their works range from monumental installations and imaginary bestiaries to abstract shapes or human-sized characters: Barnaby Barford taps into the heritage of porcelain with playful remakings of the kinds of figurines popular during the 18th and 19th centuries; Manoli Gonzalez's delicate, translucent pieces are inspired by the vegetable world; Caroline Cheng's Prosperity dress, adorned with more than 25,000 tiny porcelain butterflies, is the centrepiece of the British Museum's 20th- and 21st-century collection of Chinese works. Spanning the world and the generations, the artists gathered in this book offer an exciting showcase of a booming practice.

No longer considered merely decorative, ceramic art has broken free from the dusty display cases to which it was once relegated and is now taking centre stage in contemporary galleries.

Although often integrating traditional modelling, firing and glazing techniques into their output, the 90 artists featured here invite us to look at ceramics in a different way. Whether creating monumental installations or intricate miniatures, imaginary beasts or life-size human figures, they subtly blur the borders between art and craft, sometimes conceiving witty or unnerving twists on traditional ceramic forms, sometimes using cutting-edge technology, conceptual thinking and new platforms to push the boundaries of clay and broaden its appeal.

Packed with works that are questioning and provocative, disturbing and seductive, this is an exciting overview of a booming field.
