Edwin and Mary Scheier began producing ceramics shortly after getting married in 1937. Recognition of Edwin’s large decorative vessels and Mary’s elegant functional ware came quickly, and by the 1950s the Scheiers had established themselves as leading American ceramic artists. This portfolio contains four photographs by collector/photographer Robert Mapplethorpe of ceramics from the 1950s through the 1980s and 4 photographs by Eeva-Inkeri of two paintings, a woven hanging and a sculpture, a total of 4 pages of text and the 8 loose photographs in a custom made portfolio with a Scheier work on the cover in black and white. A short biography provides details of the Scheiers’ training, their work as art professors at the University of New Hampshire and their relocation to Mexico in the 1960s, along with information on exhibitions and awards.
