Opening reception—Tea for Two: The Teapots of Gloria and Sonny Kamm

Celebrate with us to open this exhibition highlighting selections from the world’s largest teapot collection; the Kamm Teapot Foundation. Marvel at the range and uses of media: ceramic, fiber, metal, wood and surprising materials.

Through the eyes of Los Angeles art collectors Gloria and Sonny Kamm, the dutiful, historically-laden teapot itself can be a site of great sensual and tactile expression, where the focus becomes evocative abstraction of its most standard features.

Unique, one-of-a-kind teapots made by important contemporary designers, architects, painters, sculptors, ceramicists and craftspeople, often with a non-traditional approach to media, are the main thrust of this significant collection. The support that the Kamms have given to hundreds of artists through their purchases and commissions is immeasurable.
