A human impulse

Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe

Passionate collectors since 1964, Diane and Sandy Besser have amassed a major collection of ceramics that initially started with vessel forms and teapots. Their interest became more focused on figurative ceramic sculpture, an area they felt was being overlooked and under appreciated. The works offer varying perspectives on the human condition, ranging from political commentary and psychological drama to humorous observations of daily life.

Passionate collectors since 1964, Diane and Sandy Besser have amassed a major collection of ceramics that initially started with vessel forms and teapots. Their interest became more focused on figurative ceramic sculpture, an area they felt was being overlooked and under appreciated. The Besser’s have supported both established and emerging artists- the works offering varying perspectives on the human condition, ranging from political commentary and psychological drama to humorous observations of daily life.

After Diane’s death, Sandy visited the ASU Art Museum Ceramics Research Center. He found that his aspirations for the collection were matched by the Center's initiatives in increased public accessibility. Since 2003, Besser has donated more than 150, providing significant depth in figurative ceramic sculpture. The exhibition will highlight 65 works and be accompanied by a color catalogue.
