The definitive and most uptodate volume on the celebrated Biloxi artist, who was the most revolutionary art potter of his time. Called the Mad Potter of Biloxi, the Apostle of Individuality, and the selfproclaimed Greatest Art Potter on Earth, George Edgar Ohr (18571918) transformed wheelthrown pots into ceramic works that were far ahead of their time. Though the unprecedented shapes and idiosyncratic glazes of Ohrs creations were ridiculed by some during his lifetime, he was recognized as a genius by cognoscenti, who championed his work. Today, his ceramics are seen as forerunners of the American modernist movement and are prized by collectors and museums. This handsome volume, showcasing some 135 of Ohrs masterpieces, accompanies a major exhibition at the OhrOKeefe Museum of Art that will take place in the John S. and James L. Knight Gallery, four new Frank Gehrydesigned, supersized, twisted steel pod buildings.

This volume is filled with new research and fresh insights into the life and work of one of Americas most singular and creative master artists.
