Going, Going, Gone!


Ecology Krater II (Out Biking with Aunt Samantha) This weekend is your last chance to see the Renwick Gallery's exhibition, USA Clay.

In Ecology Krater II (Out Biking with Aunt Samantha), Michael Frimkess takes a venerable ancient Greek form, a volute krater, and updates it in scale and subject. Scenes from modern life of east Los Angeles unfold around the vessel.

Head over to the Renwick and check out this urn and more than ninety other ceramic works before the show closes on July 15.

The Renwick is located at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, across the street from the White House.
