In their first major exhibition since 1982--at Louis Stern Fine Arts in West Hollywood--46 stoneware jars, vases, bowls and teapots are decorated with everything from cartoon characters to palm trees, fast food, Bible story illustrations, Chinese dragons, and images of the artists’ friends and family. Titled “Vessels of Satire,” the show gives new meaning to the popular concept of a melting pot.
