Ann Agee
Brooklyn artist Ann Agee was first invited to be an artist-in-residence in the Arts/Industry program in 1991. Trained as a painter at Yale and with an M.F.A. from Cooper Union School of Art, Agee had no formal training in ceramics but began painting on clay through a desire to create three-dimensional works. Agee’s experience through Arts/Industry was truly remarkable. Slated for a three-month stay, Agee anticipated working on a series of small vessels painted with scenes relating to Greek mythology; almost two years later, Agee emerged from the program with an exceptional body of work. Varying format from teapots, tureens, portrait platters, bathroom fixtures, wall tiles, and murals, her work was bound by the thematic content Agee gleaned from Kohler Co. and the surrounding communities. She spent time sketching factory associates, local architecture, and scenes of small-town life that she used to grace her ceramic work. A significant piece now installed in the Kohler Co. Pottery is a ceramic mural featuring the likenesses of 25 Pottery associates.
