Bente Skjøttgaard - Ceramic Explorations in Glaze and Form. Monograph on Contemporary Danish Ceramics (Bilingual English/French). Exhibition Catalogue

Where clay meets experimentation - Bente Skjøttgaard's ceramics redefine the limits of glaze.

This richly illustrated monograph presents the experimental and poetic ceramic works of acclaimed Danish artist Bente Skjøttgaard. Over the past decades, Skjøttgaard has developed a distinct visual language rooted in natural forms, transformed through dynamic glazes and daring structures. Her practice pushes the technical boundaries of ceramic glaze, resulting in large-scale, amorphous abstractions that are as bold as they are delicately surfaced.

The bilingual publication (English/French) accompanies a major exhibition at the CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art Denmark and includes essays by leading voices in the field-Christine Germain-Donnat, Garth Johnson, and fellow ceramic artist Martin Bodilsen Kaldahl. A special photo-essay section offers insight into the making process and artistic intent, making this monograph a key reference for collectors, scholars, and lovers of contemporary ceramics.

This book offers:

• An in-depth look at one of Denmark's most important contemporary ceramic artists
• Visually striking photographs of Skjøttgaard's bold, glazed sculptures
• Contributions from leading international experts in ceramic art

A must-have for anyone passionate about innovative ceramics, experimental glaze work, and nature-inspired sculpture.

Bente Skjøttgaard (*1961) is a Danish ceramic artist based in Frederiksberg/Copenhagen. She has exhibited both nationally and internationally, and for the past 20 years, she has been associated with Galerie Maria Lund in Paris.
