	Ceramics Today - Eva Zeisel
		Eva Zeisel is a name many may not have heard, an artist and designer many may not be aware of.
		In Throwing Curves, Zeisel's extraordinary story is shown through her own eyes and those of her contemporaries - interviews with the artist, family, friends, colleagues, gallerists and curators are thoughtfully put into context with the help of archival footage from the turbulent era that Zeisel was a part of.
		Zeisel studied art, then decided that if she actually wanted to sustain herself, learning a practical craft would be more sensible, so she learnt the trade at a porcelain factory.

		Zeisel was born in a vivacious Hungarian family in 1906.
		Zeisel’s earliest forms reflect the influence of the Hungarian culture and of the pottery in the region.
		Zeisel referred to the designs as “a happy, friendly family surrounding your own.” The soft forms, in mixed and matched colors, melt onto the table, as the casserole dishes invite you to peek inside.

		Zeisel was already in her late 80s but ready to start new projects with a new manufacturer.
		These successes gave Zeisel prominence in a collector’s world of modern enthusiasts who embraced her balloon-like, delicate forms; shapes that now are common as modernist but then flew in the face of the pared-down, straight lined, coolness espoused by the Bauhaus school.
		As Borden explained, “Eva does not want her work to be looked at seriously, she wants it to be a part of someone’s life that brings beauty to their surroundings.” Her work is playful and round and begging to be used, not just admired from behind a glass case.

	Eva Zeisel makes beautiful things / She's been at it for decades and at 98, is enjoying a new vogue
		She was born Eva Amalia Striker in 1906 in Budapest to a wealthy intellectual family; her father was a textile merchant and her mother an early feminist and historian.
		Zeisel "is the most important designer of ceramic dinnerware in the 20th century, and that is not a small niche," says Derek Ostergard, a Zeisel scholar and a decorative arts historian in New York.
		Perhaps for this reason, Eva Zeisel is not a household word outside of design circles, despite her huge output and acclaim; many of her pieces, for example, are installed in MOMA's Architecture and Design galleries, among works by Wright, Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer.

	The Playful Search for Beauty \| Metropolis Magazine \| January 2001
		The vases Zeisel designed for Reid and his partner, James Klein, in 1999 have a voluptuous dignity that reveals her trademark touches: the hourglass silhouette of traditional Hungarian pottery, an essence of love and abundance, and a certain pettability to the arc of each curve.
		The locus of the Zeisel magic is in her hands: she uses them to describe anything visual--shaping air into arcs and bowls--and to design despite her poor vision.
		This exchange fuels one of Zeisel's current projects: a book-length essay called "The Magic Language of Design." In it she argues for a return to the ornamentation she grew up with and is still surrounded by in her Manhattan apartment, crammed with the Biedermeier furniture her family brought over from Hungary.

		Zeisel continues to influence young designers who assist her in her studio, exhorting them to look at their immediate surroundings for inspiration.
