The New York Ceramics Fair
By Laura Beach

Tradition, it's been said, is something that's done for reasons no one can any longer remember.
Why, 52 years ago at the dawn of what would become Americana Week, January seemed a good time for hundreds of out-of-town dealers and collectors to travel to New York we'll never really know for sure. It's tradition.
For the New York Ceramics Fair, which returned for its sixth year to the National Academy Museum at Fifth Avenue and 89th Street from January 18 to 23, the weekend blizzard that accompanied Americana Week may have been more of hardship for promoters Caskey-Lees of Topanga, Calif., and Sha-Dor of Silver Spring, Md., than for the show's 32 exhibitors, who, like dealers at the other fairs around town, said they sold well through Friday.
In the contemporary line, Paul Katrich, a Dearborn, Mich, ceramist who crafts art pieces with rich, heavy luster glazes inspired by Art Nouveau ceramics, sold about a quarter of his display, or 11 pieces. It was his best New York Ceramics Fair to date.
For the first time, the show also included ancient art. Jerome Eisenberg of Royal-Athena Galleries in New York was a welcome addition with shelves of Greek Attic red and black pottery, including the Fifth Century BC volute krater illustrated here.
