Sacramento, CA.– The Crocker Art Museum is pleased to present the first career-spanning retrospective of the work of contemporary sculptor Clayton Bailey in the new exhibition “Clayton Bailey’s World of Wonders.” This exhibition features 180 works and ephemera encompassing Bailey’s 50-year career, and is now on view.A ceramist, sculptor, and self-proclaimed “mad scientist,” Bailey aims to surprise and delight with his art. This exhibition presents the full range of his inspired eccentricity in clay and metal, including his signature “exploding pots,” disarming robot sculptures, and ray guns inspired by science fiction and fashioned from discarded aluminum. Also included are the artist’s pseudo-scientific discoveries made under the name of his alter-ego Dr. George Gladstone.
