Laura Andreson Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1902 - d. 1999

Laura Andreson (1902-1999) was a ceramic artist and educator in California whose works are sophisticated, subtle and serene. She started the ceramics program at UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) where she taught for thirty-six years. She earned her B.A. degree from that university and an M.A. degree in painting from Columbia University, New York. She began teaching ceramics at UCLA in 1930 and continued to 1970 though even after retirement continued to work at the school and did pioneering research with glazes as applied to her own ceramic art full time.

Until 1957 Andreson worked with earthenware and stoneware. Subsequently she innovated unusual glazes in crystalline and luster surfaces on porcelain. Her vessels reflect influences from Scandinavian pottery. Her works are owned by most major museums with ceramic arts in the U.S. and abroad. As an educator, she had a profound influence on more than 5000 students. In 1982, the Mingei International Museum in San Diego held an exhibition of over 400 of her pots, representing a fifty year span of work with a documentary publication, Laura Andreson: A Retrospective in Clay. Beyond being an internationally recognized potter and educator, Andreson was also a collector and connoisseur of art and ceramics that she obtained from cultures worldwide.

Selected solo and group exhibitions in which her works were displayed are listed in a catalogue: Directions in Contemporary American Ceramics, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 1984. A significant collection of her work is in the permanent collections of the Utah State University Museum, Logan, Utah.

Biography from the Archives of askART: These Notes represent the beginning of a possible future biography for this artist. Please click here if you wish to help in its development. Laura F. Anderson was born in California on October 7, 1902. Andreson studied at Columbia University and UCLA. She taught at UCLA from 1933 to 1970. She died in Los Angeles, CA on August 16, 1999. Works held: Museum of Modern Art. Edan Hughes, author of the book "Artists in California, 1786-1940" BIOGRAPHY from The Marks Project: Laura Andreson is known for making and refining simple vessel forms. Initially Andreson worked in low-fired earthenware with brightly pigmented glazes of yellows, reds and turquoise-greens with an undercoating of oxide stains. According to Andreson, early work was handbuilt until 1940, then wheel thrown. In 1948 she began using stoneware for which she developed a range of stoneware bodies and glazes. In 1957 Andreson began work in porcelain. Laura Andreson established one of the first academic ceramics programs in America at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and is credited with reviving the art of pottery making in America. Her work reflected her interest in the forms of Scandinavian design, techniques of Persian reduction firing and Japanese ceramic colors. Her creative process radically differed from that used by most potters. She typically started with a glaze and then decided what kind of vessel to create for it. After retiring she continued her pioneering research developing new firing techniques, clay bodies and glazes, providing future generations of clay artists with valuable technical information. Andreson's papers are in The Smithsonian Institution's National Archives of American Art.

Laura Andreson established one of the first academic ceramics programs in America at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and is credited with reviving the art of pottery making in America. Her work reflected her interest in the forms of Scandinavian design, techniques of Persian reduction firing and Japanese ceramic colors. Her creative process radically differed from that used by most potters. She typically started with a glaze and then decided what kind of vessel to create for it. After retiring she continued her pioneering research developing new firing techniques, clay bodies and glazes, providing future generations of clay artists with valuable technical information. Andreson's papers are in The Smithsonian Institution's National Archives of American Art.

    Laura Andreson California, (1902 - 1999) American studio pottery small neck vase, 1977 porcelain with mottled moss green over robin's egg blue glaze signed and dated under base. Biography from the Archives of askART: These Notes represent the beginning of a possible future biography for this artist. Please click here if you wish to help in its development. Laura F. Anderson was born in California on October 7, 1902. Andreson studied at Columbia University and UCLA. She taught at UCLA from 1933 to 1970. She died in Los Angeles, CA on August 16, 1999. Works held: Museum of Modern Art. Edan Hughes, author of the book "Artists in California, 1786-1940" BIOGRAPHY from The Marks Project: Laura Andreson is known for making and refining simple vessel forms. Initially Andreson worked in low-fired earthenware with brightly pigmented glazes of yellows, reds and turquoise-greens with an undercoating of oxide stains. According to Andreson, early work was handbuilt until 1940, then wheel thrown. In 1948 she began using stoneware for which she developed a range of stoneware bodies and glazes. In 1957 Andreson began work in porcelain. Laura Andreson established one of the first academic ceramics programs in America at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and is credited with reviving the art of pottery making in America. Her work reflected her interest in the forms of Scandinavian design, techniques of Persian reduction firing and Japanese ceramic colors. Her creative process radically differed from that used by most potters. She typically started with a glaze and then decided what kind of vessel to create for it. After retiring she continued her pioneering research developing new firing techniques, clay bodies and glazes, providing future generations of clay artists with valuable technical information. Andreson's papers are in The Smithsonian Institution's National Archives of American Art.

In 1957 Andreson began work in porcelain. Laura Andreson established one of the first academic ceramics programs in America at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and is credited with reviving the art of pottery making in America. Her work reflected her interest in the forms of Scandinavian design, techniques of Persian reduction firing and Japanese ceramic colors. Her creative process radically differed from that used by most potters. She typically started with a glaze and then decided what kind of vessel to create for it. After retiring she continued her pioneering research developing new firing techniques, clay bodies and glazes, providing future generations of clay artists with valuable technical information. Andreson's papers are in The Smithsonian Institution's National Archives of American Art.
