VOCO - vessel oriented clay object.
as I understand it...Garth Clark coined the phrase and
created a lurative art business out of it. as well as
the weird tea pot genre...
create at genre, show the work of the artists, hundeds
of monkeys continue to go for it, and then collectors
want it, too.
re:
Search for a term
It must be advancing age but I cannot remember a term,
an acronym
really,
that first appeared in the 70's or 80's in many
ceramic articles. Some
author coined a phrase to describe ceramic vessels
that did not
emphasize
their utility but their sculptural qualities. Perhaps
it was something
like
"Ceramic Vessels that are sculptural objects" and this
phrase became
an
acronym that was something like "CVSO". I want to
know the acronym and
the
phrase. I know that both of my examples (the phrase
and the acronym)
are
wrong, but I am certain the term did exist and was
used frequently for
a
period of time in articles like " The California Clay
Rush" from the
70's.

Now that the Acronym and the phrase it stands for have been identified,
check out Donn Buchfinck's post from 1999.

By the way, Donn has a website now:

Hurry up and link the rest of your thumbnails, Donn!

Thanks you for the information. You were not the first to help me out but
every time that I have heard the same acronym from other clayarters I feel
reassured that that the VOCO term I passed on to a student to help her
identify the work she is doing is correct.
