The Caroline and Dan Anderson Contemporary Ceramic Collection
The Nevica Project started representing the Caroline and Dan Anderson Contemporary Ceramic Collection in 2011 until Dan’s passing in 2023. Caroline and Dan had been purchasing and trading ceramics for the past five decades amassing one of the world's most comprehensive and stunning ceramic collections in the US. It features pottery and sculptural works dating back to the early works of Voulkos, DeVore, MacKenzie, Shaner, and Ferguson to the newer talents such as Jason Walker, Sergei Isupov, and Kevin Snipes, Etc. I have known Dan for many years and greatly respect him as an educator, artist, and collector. I have also had the pleasure of spending time with his charming wife, Caroline, who has been integral to building this unique collection. She is also a marvelous glass artist.
