Majolica Mania: Transatlantic Pottery in England and the United States, 1850–1915
September 24, 2021–January 2, 2022
Bard Graduate Center Gallery
18 West 86 Street, New York, NY 10024

Join us this fall for a guided virtual or in-person tour of Bard Graduate Center Gallery’s Majolica Mania: Transatlantic Pottery in England and the United States, 1850–1915. The exhibition and its accompanying publication will create new awareness and appreciation for nineteenth-century English and American majolica. Colorful, wildly imaginative, and technically innovative, this ceramic ware was functional and aesthetic, modern and historicizing. The exhibition will explore the considerable impact of majolica, from wares used in domestic conservatories and dining rooms to monumental pieces displayed at world’s fairs. Approximately 350 objects will be drawn from major private collections in the United States as well as from leading public collections in America and England.
