Born 1950 in Louisville, Kentucky, Anne Currier is a ceramic artist and professor of ceramic art at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in Alfred, New York. Her compelling sculptures are studies in mass and volume, light and shadow. They are made up of intersecting shapes that simultaneously bare resemblance to the body and to architectural fragments. Currier earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1972 and a MFA from the University of Washington, Seattle in 1974. She has won numerous fellowships from the New York Foundation of the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. She was also awarded a recognition grant from the Virginia A. Groot Foundation in 1991 and twice received the Joseph Kruson Trust Fund Award for Excellence in Teaching at Alfred University, where she has been a professor since 1986. Currier’s work is represented in many private and public collections, including the Renwick Gallery in Washington, DC, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
