S猫vres Extraordinaire! Sculpture from 1740 until Today
S猫vres Extraordinaire! Sculpture from 1740 until Today presents the history of the S猫vres Manufactory and its production of extraordinary sculptural objects in various ceramic pastes. Organized by S猫vres, Manufacture et Mus茅e nationaux, and Bard Graduate Center, the exhibition is the first outside of France to highlight the production of sculpture made at the famed porcelain manufactory.
From extravagant Rococo to restrained Neoclassical, from romantic, neo-Gothic inventions to the elegant curves of the Art Nouveau or the geometries of the Art Deco, and in partnership with artists associated with Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, and Pop art, S猫vres has continually pushed the boundaries of ceramic production, creating objects that are neither functional nor decorative but rather art that it simply calls 鈥渟culpture.鈥�
