By: Paul Donhauser Estate All pieces available at this exclusive gallery-style sale — whether functional or sculptural ceramics or acrylic paintings — are one-of-a-kind, valuable originals and there is a limited supply. This will be a mini art fair with everything displayed in the house, studio, and driveway up for sale. Artworks discovered after the first estate sale in 2018 will be a special highlight. Limited edition commemorative t-shirts and art cards will also be for sale. Crafting an outstanding career as an artist, Dr. Donhauser worked in both clay and painting, exhibiting in regional, national and international competitions. He was a Rosebush Professor and earned virtually every honor the field of ceramics has to offer, notably a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Visual Arts and the Grand Prize at the International Ceramics Competition in Faenza, Italy. He was the first American to win the prestigious ceramics award. His work is owned and displayed by countless private collectors as well as the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. and the Prudential Plaza in Chicago, IL. Dr. Donhauser graduated from Sheboygan Central High School and earned his undergraduate degree in Studio Arts and Art Education from UW-Milwaukee. He continued his education with a Master's degree from UW-Madison and his PhD from Illinois State University. Donhauser taught design and ceramics at UW-Oshkosh until 2004. During 40 years with the University of Wisconsin system, he touched countless lives including students and colleagues. "We waited a long time to host our first Donhauser Art Sale in 2018 which was wildly successful," "We found loving homes for much of the art collection, connected with friends new and old, and made a generous contribution to the Paul Donhauser Art Student Scholarship at UW-Oshkosh." Anderson adds, "we still have many beautiful original artworks, including some recently unearthed pieces, and the time is right to open our doors again to the public." Dr. Donhauser passed away on Thursday, November 22, 2007, due to complications with cancer treatment. Facebook event link: https://www.facebook.com/ End
