Edward Marshall Boehm American Figurative Expressionsit Porcelain Sculptor of the 1950s.

According to Marilyn Stokstad, the art historian:
"Expressionism (is) the manipulation of formal or representational elements to convey intense feelings."

Edward Marshall Boehm explained his choice of porcelain as the medium for his art as follows:                               
"Porcelain is a permanent creation. If properly processed and fired, its colors will never change; and it can be subjected to extreme temperatures without damage. It is a medium in which one can portray the everlasting beauty of form and color of wildlife and nature."

Frank J. Cosentino commented on the art of Edward Marshall Boehm: 
"Its grandeur is in its perfection. It is a disciplined art, mastering the demands of the ancient and distinguished craft of porcelain making."

Edward Marshall Boehm was a pioneer American figurative expressionist porcelain sculptor. He created porcelain sculptures between 1950 until his death in 1969 in Trenton, New Jersey. During his lifetime the introduction and closing dates of his limited edition sculptures were well documented.


After the death of his wife Helen who functioned as his manager the Studio has changed ownership several times. Today the name Boehm is being used to create porcelain by The Boehm Porcelain Company of Trenton, NJ. It reopened  August 15, 2016. It is using the name "Boehm" along with a modified hallmark of Edward Marshall Boehm. 

The exceptional sculptures of Edward Marshall Beohm as an American figurative expressionist porcelain sculptor of the 1950s remains unequaled.

Marquis Who's Who Press Release

“Discovering Excellence!” An enigma for life.

Post-War II Abstract Expressionist Artists in New York City marked the beginning of New York City’s influence as the center of the western art world. 

The world of the Abstract Expressionist artists was firmly rooted in Lower Manhattan.

A walk along 8th Street would take you from the Waldorf Cafeteria, where penniless artists made “tomato soup” from the free hot water and ketchup;

past the Hans Hofmann School of Fine artists founded by the painter of the same name; 

 to

The Club, a loft where lectures and heated arguments about art carried on late into the night.Jackson Pollock’s studio was on East 8th Street,
Willem de Kooning’s Philip Guston’s, Albert Kotin's and most other pioneer New York School artists' studios were on East 10th.

Most nights the "down town artists" could be found at the Cedar Street Tavern on University Place. 

Half a century latter I am still inspired by the universality of artistic impulse.
