Adrian Saxe is an American ceramic artist who was born in Glendale, California in 1943.
[1] Saxe studied at the Chouinard Art Institute (Los Angeles, California) from 1965 to 1969 and earned a B.F.A.
[2] Saxe's early works were primarily site-specific sculpture that employed large arrays of modular ceramic sections.
[4] In a 1993 review of Saxe's work, art critic Christopher Knight wrote: “With outrageous humor and unspeakable beauty, he makes intensely seductive objects that exploit traditional anthropomorphic qualities associated with ceramics.
Having pressed the question of the utility of his own art in a post-industrial world, his work engages us in a dialogue about our own place in a radically shifting cultural universe.
