Discover the first major museum retrospective devoted to the influential Los Angeles ceramic artist, Doyle Lane. More than 100 works and archival documents trace Lane's evolution from functional pottery to monumental murals that transformed ceramics into abstract, light-filled constructions.
Featuring intimate vessels, iconic 'weed pots,' 'clay paintings,' jewelry, beads, and large-scale architectural commissions, the exhibition offers the most expansive presentation of Lane's practice to date. The show situates him within midcentury California modernism and the Southern California studio ceramics movement while examining the barriers he faced as a Black artist.
On view through March 1, 2027, at The Huntington, this exhibition provides a unique insight into Lane's work and its impact on the art world. Explore the exhibition and plan your visit at huntington.org.
