Friedman Benda is pleased to launch the inaugural CAPSULE, a new series of exhibitions focusing on emerging voices and smaller bodies of work by established artists. Showing November 12 through November 14 in our private exhibition space, Country Potter will feature new works by contemporary ceramist Maxwell Mustardo. His compelling sculptures with extraordinary layered glazed surfaces and playful forms reference notions of the body and historic vessels.
