About This Item
"The Mad Potter of Biloxi". George Ohr fulfilled the ideal of the Arts and Crafts Movement by doing all his own work. His work is now in the Ohr - O'Keefe Museum in Biloxi, Mississippi. The book contains over 300 previously unpublished works by Ohr. The book is in near fine condition with only a very slight bump on the lower spine and slight shelf wear. Robert Ellison, Jr, who died last year, is from the Dallas/Ft Worth area. After the Korean War he went to college and began a career as an abstract artist. He accidentally became a collector of art pottery. His collection is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He inscribed the book to Dallas friends and signed "Bob". I am marking this book as signed, but I am not pricing the book as such. A beautiful book and the definitive work on the subject.

About mark mcdonald
Book collector for over 30 years. I'm retired and ready to sell. I buy almost exclusively from estate sales and since I've lived in Dallas my whole life, I know the people and where to go. I am a low volume collector and seller and deal in higher quality books. I have a lot of signed and inscribed books. These signatures have not been officially authenticated, but I am confident in their authenticity so I will guarantee them in perpetuity if it can be reasonably demonstrated that the signature is incorrect. .
