Look Alikes: The Decal Plates Of Howard Kottler

In introducing this catalog for an exhibit in the museum's new building, its director notes that a critic called Kottler "the first of the true postmoderns working in ceramics." The plate featured on the cover reflects this Northwest artist's gay theme. A chronology spans early surrealism to Kottler's death in 1989. Also included is text from Kottler's 1969 self-published catalog titled Howard Kottler, Decal Plates. Distributed by the U. of Washington Press.
