Ruth Rippon Ceramics 1971 Retrospective Exhibition Catalog Crocker Art RARE!. Title: Ruth Rippon (20-Year Retrospective Exhibition Catalogue). Year: 1971. Printer: Fong & Fong Printers and Lithographers. Ruth Rippon Ceramics 1971 Retrospective Exhibition Catalog Crocker Art Museum RARE An incredibly scarce, institutionally published document tracking the first twenty years (1951–1971) of legendary Northern California ceramicist Ruth Rippon (1927–2022). Released in a highly limited run by the Creative Arts League to accompany her landmark retrospective at the E. B. Crocker Art Gallery in Sacramento, this catalog was never widely distributed commercially and is rarely seen on the market. Rippon was a foundational figure in the American Studio Pottery Movement, working alongside contemporaries like Peter Voulkos and Robert Arneson. This specific volume serves as an essential historical reference, documenting her peak mid-century aesthetic, technical range, and her celebrated, whimsical figurative slab sculptures (including Napoleon, 1963 and her iconic cover artwork). An indispensable acquisition for serious collectors of West Coast studio pottery, regional art historians, or institutional research archives. Excellent vintage condition, some age appropriate wear, inside pages are intact and clean (PLEASE SEE PHOTOS) Cover: Shows visible vintage shelf wear, edge rubbing, and light surface scuffing/handling marks consistent with age (please review photos carefully). Interior: Excellent vintage condition. The pages are crisp and intact. Title: Ruth Rippon (20-Year Retrospective Exhibition Catalogue) Publisher: Creative Arts League of Sacramento / E. B.
