Content:
Daniel Kruger (b. 1951), widely known as a jewellery artist, presents an overview of his ceramic works with 230 pieces created over twenty years. Classic examples ? tulip and lidded vases, Delft blue-and-white and baroque tableware ? are familiar benchmarks, which Kruger combines with images of psyched-up footballers, homoerotic nudes or casts of small sections of chicken bone. (Pictorial) worlds collide, revealing our perceptions based on convention, frequently also on manipulation; there is less interest in spectacular confrontation, though, for Kruger?s fascination for systems of images leads to unexpected combinations of form and decoration. In a continual process of artistic acquisition, new interpretation and appropriation, Kruger explores the interstice between historical archetypes and kitsch within European ceramic history
