Win Ng (American, 1936-1991)
Born and raised in San Francisco’s Chinatown, Win Ng established his reputation as a master ceramist, with an initial focus on abstract, non-utilitarian works along side that of Peter Voulkos. “There is evidence that the work of Voulkos and Ng overlapped (Ng for a brief period utilized Voulkos’ studio at the California College of Arts and Crafts). When Voulkos was at the Los Angeles County Art Institute, Ng was working in San Francisco, which is when Ng first came to the attention of Ruth Braunstein. She knew of Ng’s work before discovering Voulkos, but even though Voulkos returned to San Francisco in the late 1950’s, it was Ng who, at the time, played a significant role in the local ceramic scene. In 1958 Ng had his first one man show at the Michow Gallery in New York and then in 1961 was represented by Braunstein Gallery in San Francisco.
