Beth Katleman’s sculptures have been described by Ken Johnson in the New York Times as "doll-sized rococo theaters of murder and domestic mayhem." Her installations and ceramic sculptures combine ornament with icons from popular culture. Her work is represented in many national collections, including the M.H. de Young Museum, San Francisco, CA, the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Sheboygan, WI, Kohler Company, Kohler, WI and the Archie Bray Foundation, Helena, MT. Her sculptures have been featured in solo exhibitions in the Barneys New York windows and at the Sybaris Gallery, Royal Oak, Michigan.
She has appeared in numerous group shows at institutions such as the M.H. de Young Museum, the Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco, Garth Clark Gallery, New York, Thomas Healy Gallery, New York, the Storefront for Art and Architecture, New York, and the National Building Museum, Washington, D.C. Her work has garnered critical attention in the New York Times, American Ceramics, the New Art Examiner, Sculpture Magazine and other publications. She is the recipient of a Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation grant, a Kohler Arts/Industry Fellowship, the Watershed Generation X Award, and a residency in Cortona, Italy sponsored by the University of Georgia, Athens.
