Lacoste Gallery, founded by Lucy Lacoste in 1990, is located in the historic town of Concord, Massachusetts, 20 miles west of Boston. The gallery began by showing a broad range of American craft with a focus on ceramics. Today, Lacoste Gallery is a leader in the field of contemporary ceramics, representing highly recognized, mid-career and emerging artists. Themed, two-person and solo exhibitions are presented throughout the year showing a range of work from studio pottery to abstract sculpture. Since 2004, the Gallery’s participation in SOFA has helped expand it presence and establish a visible influence on both the national and international stage. The website, www.lacostegallery.com too has allowed that presence to be felt far beyond its doors in Concord. Beginning in 2000, with the exhibition Beyond the Body: Architectural Ceramics, the gallery has greatly expanded its emphasis on ceramics, initiating relationships with many of the artist represented today. The seminal exhibition, Functional Connections featuring Warren Mackenzie and artists influenced by him, rooted the Gallery in studio pottery and the vessel as an art form. After Palissy and Vanitas introduced the gallery to artists for whom content is as important as form and process. Generational Crossroads:  Bizen Evolution curated by Jeff Shapiro, reflected the Japanese influences of existing artists while bringing new ties to notable Japanese ceramicists. Representing the collection of William Hull, founding director of the Palmer Museum at Penn State and curator of the first show on Danish ceramics in the USA, established a president for brokering ceramics in the secondary market. This opportunity also opened up the world of Danish and European ceramics, which directly connects to the Gallery aesthetic. Form and abstraction are at the core of the Lacoste Gallery ceramic aesthetic. This is advanced by the ideas of the vessel as an art form, form as sculpture, and sculpture as commentary.  Lacoste Gallery continues to evolve the artists it represents and methods of presentation to bring quality works of art to its clients. “The power of clay lies in its intrinsic human and sculptural qualities. These qualities become all the more compelling as the boundaries of culture, history, and art become more fluid”, states Lucy Lacoste. Lacoste Gallery is dedicated to facilitating the explorations and needs of both artist and collector. Whether placing single artworks or site specific installations, the Gallery works closely with clients and can handle commissions of any specification. In addition to ceramics, Lacoste Gallery represents select artists in other media, such as jewelry, painting, and works on paper whose work complements the Gallery’s aesthetic.
