Collection Focus – Michael Lucero at RAM

September 20, 2009 – January 17, 2010

The Racine Art Museum presented a career survey of the works of internationally recognized ceramic sculptor Michael Lucero. This exhibition was the third in an ongoing series of exhibitions that featured promised gifts and works already in RAM’s permanent collection. This exhibition contained a total of 15 works by Lucero, of which eight are recognized as examples of his major sculptures.

Michael Lucero at RAM debuted 12 newly acquired Lucero pieces that were donated by six different collecting families from across the US. These new acquisitions would usually be presented in one of RAM’s annual exhibitions of recent gifts. In this case, the arrival of so many works by one artist at the same time allowed the museum to curate a focused exhibition featuring his work. By combining these new gifts with works already in RAM’s collection, the exhibition highlighted Lucero’s career development and aesthetic explorations in ceramics between 1983 and 2007.
