"Erik Gronborg, who moved to the United States from Denmark in 1959, almost immediately began making what he considers functional ceramic works that explore contemporary culture. Combining the 1,000-year-old-continuum of ceramic history with silk-screening, comics, china paint, and commercial glazes, Gronborg's provocative "crafty" and non-precious approach is a precursor to the "sloppy craft" that is as challenging today as it was in the late 1960s. Gronborg, whose last kiln firing was in 1996, won The City of Paris Award at The Paris Bienale in 1963. Gronborg has spent most of his life as an artist and educator at various institutions in California and also taught at Reed College from 1965-69" (Reflecting on Erik Gronborg / Museum of Contemporary Craft, Portland, OR, USA / 7 August 2012 - 16 February 2013, Selections and Installation by Jeffry Mitchell, Curated by Jeffry Mitchell and Namita Gupta Wiggers).
