    Notre Dame Professor William Kremer was invited to exhibit his ceramic sculptural vessels because of admiration not only for his work, but also for the very ambitious way that he has advanced the creation and collection of ceramics at Notre Dame. Most notable was his construction of the ND anagama wood-fire kiln in 1998-99. The kiln was the catalyst for a number of important developments, the principal one being Peter Voulkos’s 2001 residency, during which he created ceramic sculptures that were subsequently fired in the anagama kiln. The major work created, Notre Dame, 2001, was acquired by the Snite Museum of Art through the generosity of ND alum Mr. John C. Rudolf ’70 and is displayed in the Museum. The Museum also acquired two Voulkos platters created during his ND sojourn—one by purchase, the second as a gift of the artist. Similarly, Paul Soldner and Don Reitz also created artworks that were fired in the anagama kiln during ND residencies, some of which were added to the permanent collection. In addition to his engagement with national peers and students, Bill steadfastly continues to make pots, to explore wheel-thrown sculptural vessels, to compose and perform music and to race sailboats (very successfully). The exhibition and catalog are funded, in part, by the Humana Foundation Endowment for American Art.

    There will be an opening reception for this exhibit on Sunday, November 1, 2:00-4:00 p.m. with gallery talks at 3:00 p.m.

    Location: Milly and Friz Kaeser Mestrovic Studio Gallery
