Earth, Water, Fire: Classical Mediterranean Ceramics

31 March–3 May 1976

Earth, Water, Fire: Classical Mediterranean Ceramics brings together more than 120 representative works from the University’s Classical Collection including glazed and un-glazed Greek, Roman, Etruscan, and Cypriote urns, lamps, and dishes. Most of the pieces have never before been on display, though most of them have been part of the University’s holdings since before the turn of the 20th century. The exhibition was greatly composed of University of Chicago archaeological holdings with some additions from the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum of Natural History, the Oriental Institute, and private collectors.

Curators and Catalogue: Gregory Knight and Lynn Stowell, Master of Arts students in the Department of Art.

The exhibition was made possible through generous funding from Mrs. Harold T. Martin and the Harold T. Martin Fund.
