Doris Bank

About the artist
Doris Bank (1964-2019) is among the most significant representatives of artistic utilitarian ceramics. Her works in porcelain and colourful stoneware are distinguished by a virtuoso play of form and surface. The tactile textures lend her small series a lively, elegant, and at once archaic effect. In this new monograph, her life’s work is appreciated in-depth for the very first time. The ceramic works by Doris Bank are perfectly formed objects, delicate vessels of well-balanced beauty and subtlety. Striking features are the reduced language of forms, the considered choice of colour, and extreme thinness of the vessel walls. Each piece is part of a series yet is a one-off – modeled, pressed and formed, folded or cut, glazed and fired all by hand.
