Annabeth Rosen: Fired, Broken, Gathered, Heaped is the first major survey of Annabeth Rosen (b. 1957 Brooklyn, NY), Robert Arneson Chair at UC Davis, and 2018 Guggenheim Fellow.

For over two decades, Rosen has interrogated the medium of ceramics in the context of contemporary art. Featuring ceramics and works on paper from over twenty years, this groundbreaking exhibition examines how Rosen’s work radically defies the limits of her primary medium, pushing it beyond spectacle and into conversations about contemporary painting, feminist theory, endurance-based performance, and conceptual art.

Annabeth Rosen: Fired, Broken, Gathered, Heaped is organized by Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH) and was curated by Valerie Cassel Oliver, CAMH’s former Senior Curator, currently the Lewis Family Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. CAMH’s presentation was generously supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Sara and Bill Morgan, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Presentation of the exhibition in San Francisco is organized by Heidi Rabben, Senior Curator, The Contemporary Jewish Museum. Leadership support is generously provided by Maribelle and Stephen Leavitt. Major support is provided by Phyllis and David Cook and Dorothy R Saxe.
