Gordon Baldwin (b. 1932) Exhibition Photo, York Art Gallery, York, England. Source:  I spent the morning helping out at a really wonderful symposium on the ceramics of Gordon Baldwin.  There were some really fantastic speakers who brought up the contemporary tensions between ceramics and sculpture: where the line is drawn in terms of size, audience, discourse, and even price range.  The man himself could not be there, however those in and around York, I would encourage you to check out the retrospective of his work, on exhibit now.
