Painting by Conrad Woods, 1961 and a planter by Raul Coronel Conrad Woods (1932-1993) was the son of actor Donald Woods .  He studied at UCLA and received a BFA and MFA from the University Illinois, before traveling to Europe and India on a Fulbright Scholarship to study painting and sculpture. Moving to California in 1960, he had gallery representation in Los Angeles and San Diego. While in San Diego, he was included in exhibitions alongside local favorites Richard Allen Morris, Guy Williams, Russell Baldwin, John Baldessari and Bob Matheny.  One such exhibition was in 1964 at Southwestern College. Coincidentally, this relates to my last post on Matheny  since Bob was running the show at the time. It's interesting how things show up out in the field like that.

This weekend was the Los Angles Pottery Show A bulk of the show is this kind of pottery. Besides maybe some Catalina tile I can't tell you what any of this stuff is. I can tell you this is a mammoth Raul Coronel. This was in my friend Michael Hickman's booth. He is one of the four or so dealers  at the show who specializes in modern studio ceramics.  He also throws a good pot himself. I wish I would have taken a photo of one of his pieces.   He also had this really cool Michael Frimkess piece. A monster Frank Matranga lamp, also at Hickman's booth. Frank had a booth at the show with his newer work.  A really good Myrton Purkiss plate Who knew Harrison McIntosh did glass? A very limited number were done by Mikasa for a fundraiser. I knew about the dishes for Mikasa, but glass?  Those lines are classic McIntosh. It's  hand-signed . Marg Loring lamp. I really like that.  ...
