Jim Melchert is widely regarded as a pivotal figure in the elevation of ceramics from craft to contemporary art. This publication brings together six decades of his work – spanning conceptual art, performance, California Funk, and his profoundly moving late tile works – into a single, authoritative volume.Melchert’s work resonates deeply across fields – contemporary art, ceramics, performance, design, philosophy, education, and material culture – making this title relevant well beyond traditional art-book buyers.At the heart of Melchert’s late tile works is a powerful idea: that broken things can be repaired and made stronger. His practice offers a rare, humane counterpoint in contemporary art – one grounded in repair, process, and hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9780982767184. ORO Editions. hb.
