"Rago, Wright, and LAMA are proud to present The Private Collection of Gertrud & Otto Natzler, an intimate selection of works the artists retained for their own personal collection. This presentation brings together more than 50 ceramics chosen by the Natzlers as particularly meaningful examples of their shared practice, offering a rare perspective on the work they themselves valued most.

United in life and artistry, Gertrud and Otto transformed twentieth-century ceramics through an extraordinary creative partnership: Gertrud as a master of form, throwing distinctly modern vessels of remarkable refinement, and Otto as an alchemist of glaze, whose tireless experimentation produced surfaces of exceptional depth, color, and complexity. With most of these works appearing on the open market for the first time, the collection offers a uniquely personal window into the vision, experimentation, and enduring legacy of two of modern ceramics’ most influential artists."

Laura Steward, one of our wonderful speakers! Register today for the 2026 Symposium. https://americanceramiccircle.org/symposium-2026/

At the 2026 Symposium, Laura Steward will discuss Ruth Duckworth, emphasizing her Chicago context, and will show her to be an innovative modernist sculptor - rather than a "British studio potter" - engaged in the natural world. This presentation will trace the influence of geomorphology and environmentalism in her work. Works discussed include a complete environment of clay tiles in UChicago's Hinds Geophysical Laboratory, a monumental tile mural Clouds Over Lake Michigan, her wall works in high relief, Mama Pots, and clay sculptures. Both installations at UChicago are open to the public. Steward trained at Harvard College, the
Clark/Williams Graduate Program in the History of Art, and L'Istituto per l'Arte ed il Restauro in Florence. From
2017 to 2025, she served as Curator of Public Art at the University of Chicago. She has authored fifteen
exhibition catalogues.
