Ceramic Arts Students Visit Prominent Collector's Home

Members of the Graduate School’s Ceramic ARTS 564 Aesthetics and Criticism class recently visited the home of noted collector Robert Buchanan to view his collection of ceramic arts.

The visit allowed students to see these outstanding pieces, such as the Ruth Duckworth wall sculpture seen in the photo, up close in a home setting. They had the opportunity to talk with the collector about the art work and the artists who created them.

Bob, a third-generation commercial builder/developer based in Montgomery County, MD, shares with his wife Sharon a deep appreciation for art and artists. Their private collection, which they often exhibit in public galleries, includes ceramics, prints, sculpture and paintings by artists of local and international renown. Each of Buchanan Partners’ commercial real estate projects have featured commissioned art as an integral component of their development.
