While his first major piece of art sold to Whitney Museum in 1967, it could be said that Bennett Bean's art career actually started in 1981.
That was the year Bennett permanently ended teaching at Wagner College in New York and left the city for the New Jersey countryside and focus exclusively on his artwork.
That was a good bet on his part. Since that moment in time, he now has his artwork in the permanent collection of such esteemed museums as the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Southern California.
But as Bennett explains in his interview with the Spy at the Academy Art Museum from last week, it was due to this newly found freedom, which he calls a "romantic involvement," that has produced the extraordinary pottery and colors now on display in a major exhibition or his work entitled Be Careful What You Fall in Love With this fall at the AAM.
Ceramicist, designer, painter – Bennett Bean is a quintessential polymath. Best known for his treatment of ceramic vessels post-firing, he works in a range of mediums including stone, precious metals, wool and silk weaving, and painting.
On April 4, 2017 Rago Arts and Auction Center hosted an open house with the ever charming and laugh-out-loud funny Bennett Bean titled, “Be Careful What You Fall in Love With.” Bean presented a brief history of his work and the variety of mediums and formats he has explored over the course of his career, peppered with intimate and humorous looks at a life well lived.

Artist Bennett Bean on life, luck, pots, rugs, and Buddhism. In 1970, he left the New York art world for rural Johnsonburg, New Jersey. He'd had solo exhibits, sold a sculpture to the Whitney Museum, yet found himself being drawn in another direction. We visited his studio and got a look at how he creates his signature ceramic vessels.
