The San Diego Museum of Art was once a pioneer in its support of the ceramic arts. You wouldn't know it from attending shows there during the past few decades. And you wouldn't guess it flipping through the two catalogs of the collection published in the last dozen years. Neither mentions the exhibiting or collecting of ceramics in its account of the museum's evolution.

Until the museum turned 80 this year and began marking the occasion with an array of exhibitions turned inward, toward its collection and the collectors who aided its growth. "American Ceramics 1884-1972" is among the more modestly billed and staged of the shows, but it calls attention to a significant, surprising chapter of the institution's history.

Well, that's fairly esoteric, but ceramic enthusiasts should be pleased nonetheless. I think.
