Special Exhibits Included with CityPASS

Three Decades of West Coast Ceramics, 1956–1986
Through June 30, 2013
The years between 1956 and 1986 witnessed a fundamental shift in American ceramics, one that took place mainly on the West Coast in California and Washington. Freed from the constraints of making functional objects, ceramics artists began experimenting with abstract and figural forms, radical building techniques, and surface treatments. The resulting sculptural pieces were groundbreaking, and this search for a new aesthetic changed international ceramic art forever. This exhibition showcases works from the rich MFAH collection of American ceramics made during this important period.

James Turrell: The Light Inside
June 9 - September 22, 2013
Concentrating on the museum's extraordinary collection of work by American artist James Turrell (born 1943), this presentation makes many of the artist’s installations accessible to the public for the first time. At the conceptual core of the exhibition is The Light Inside, which is permanently installed at the MFAH in the underground Wilson Tunnel. Also included is Vertical Vintage, a grouping of a dozen light-based installations that allow visitors to test the limits of their perception, study the play of illusion, and witness how light shapes space.
