Description

Set of 3 Mata Ortiz Pottery Books — Parks, Bezy & Scott, 1993–2010

Comprehensive three-volume reference set chronicling the evolution of Mata Ortiz pottery, one of Mexico’s most celebrated contemporary ceramic traditions. Includes The Miracle of Mata Ortiz by Walter P. Parks (The Coulter Press, 1993, First Edition), The Many Faces of Mata Ortiz (Rio Nuevo Publishers, 1999), and The Artistry and History of Mata Ortiz by John V. Bezy and Stuart D. Scott (2010). Together, these works trace the movement’s development from Juan Quezada’s rediscovery of ancient Casas Grandes pottery techniques to the diverse artistry of hundreds of modern potters.

Richly illustrated throughout, the volumes feature biographical entries, detailed photographs, and historical commentary, making them indispensable for collectors, scholars, and enthusiasts of Mexican folk art and ceramics. A cohesive documentation of the Mata Ortiz renaissance spanning nearly two decades of scholarship and artistry.
