A recent New York Times profile of artist Ron Nagle revealed that the first work he ever sold, a miniature ceramic sculpture titled “Perfume Bottle,” now belongs to Scripps College’s Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery. The sculpture is part of the 1,270-piece Marer Collection of Contemporary Ceramics, which features post-war American ceramics by the Otis group of artists, and is one of the gallery’s largest collections. The gallery recently featured “Perfume Bottle” in its 75th Ceramic Annual exhibition; additional information about the sculpture is available online as part of the gallery’s permanent collection.
