Kenneth Price
Red
1962

"Known primarily for ceramic sculpture, Kenneth Price used wood, an unusual material for the artist, to make Red. He has long incorporated orifices into his work to summon associations that are haptic, carnal, biological, and perceptual, employing them to make distinctions between outside and inside, substance and absence, as well as to remind viewers of the traditional and even functional uses of ceramics as vessels. Holes like that found in Red serve as contrasting figures to his sculptural grounds and introduce perceptual conundrums into the viewing experience. By inscribing a tightly ruled yet curvaceous shape on the face of a pristine red box, Price introduced a mysterious element into the straightforward geometric form."
