Margrit Linck: Keramische Skulpturen, weisse Vasen

This compact monotgraph on the Swiss ceramic artist Margrit Linck brings together essays by Max Altorfer and Willy Rotzler, who situate Linck’s work within the broader context of 20th-century Swiss art and design, reflecting on her role in redefining ceramics beyond purely functional craft. Their texts frame Linck not only as a master of form, but as an artist who rigorously pursued sculptural clarity in clay.

The book documents Linck’s ceramic sculptures and, in particular, her series of white vases, which became central to her oeuvre. By reducing colour to white, she shifted attention entirely to proportion, contour, and volume. Conceived as both a retrospective survey and a formal study, the book highlights Linck’s consistent exploration of geometric structure, surface, and spatial presence. It stands as an important record of her contribution to modern ceramic art in Switzerland, capturing the precision and quiet radicality of her white forms.
