Her signature small-scale porcelain and earthenware pieces evoke a range of moods, incorporating surprising color and textures in her masterful deployment of ceramic techniques. In a gesture that veers toward iconoclasm, Butterly contorts traditional vessel forms, producing biomorphic, individualistic creations that seem to bend and fold. Every detail of a Butterly sculpture--from pools of orange glaze to pearlescent beads of clay--is an essential part of its composition. Published concurrently with Butterly's expansive exhibition at the Tang Museum, \u003ci\u003eAssume Yes\u003c\/i\u003e is a major monographic survey of her sculptural and ceramic work. It spans over 30 years and features color plates of more than 200 artworks from 1994 to a selection of brand-new pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Delmonico Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636812182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320","brand":"Kathy Butterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435619184821,"sku":"9781636812182","price":55.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f0458355-c7ab-4504-9b76-7c98a347dbcd.jpg?v=1776227508","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kathy-butterly-assume-yes-9781636812182","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
