KVOST SchauFenster : Keramik aus der Werkstatt Heiner Körting : 1950-1960
In the organizer's words:
The KVOST SchauFenster is illuminated daily until 10 pm.
The KVOST SchauFenster presents vases from the 1950s and 1960s from Heiner Körting's ceramics workshop. Beyond their functionality as utilitarian objects, they are also artistic pieces. Dark in color and coated with a layer of engobe, they also feature a light brown pattern that is graphic but not rigid. This relationship of loose regularity is typical of Körting ceramics. The vessels are rectilinear, but based on organic forms, with an ornamental structure worked into the surface through incising or relief.
Heiner Hans Körting (*1911 in Munich - 1991) took over the Bauhaus workshop in Dornburg in 1949. Lisa Körting (*1926 in Merseburg - 2009) joined in 1955, after the two married, and had a decisive influence on the work in the workshop. Together they were among the leading ceramic artists in the GDR. The shape of the objects exhibited at KVOST was designed by Heiner Körting. The designs for the decoration of the vases, on the other hand, were created by Heiner and Lisa Körting. The vases are part of a broad, joint oeuvre by the Körtings, whose later practice in particular reflected a versatility between decorative ceramics and architectural ceramics.
With the kind support of the Jan Linkersdorff Collection & Studio Galerie Berlin.
