This summer I got to see Ken Price's retrospective at the Met. After that I was able to spend a week in Taos where his home was for the majority of his later years. He grew up in Los Angeles, got his MFA in New York, and worked in Taos. He very rarely used glazes on his ceramics but instead used layers and layers of acrylic paints which he later sanded to reveal a great depth. When visiting the Harwood Museum of Art in Taos, Price's death shrine to himself was installed, which was so fitting to see just a year after his death.
