Biography from Aspire Auctions, Cleveland:
| Claude Conover worked for 30 years as a commercial designer before
turning to ceramics. By the 1960s he was devoting himself full time to
his pots. He exhibited in 14 May Shows; all told his work was shown
in 47 exhibitions at museums and arts centers around the country, some
traveling internationally. Many regional patrons have made these
hand-built stoneware pots -most off-white-some rough, some smooth, part
of their home environment.
Conover is considered a member of the Cleveland School; a term first coined by
Elrick Davis in a 1928 article for the Cleveland Press, titled
"Cleveland's Art Pioneers Have Put City in Front Rank in Creative
Field."
He was the recipient of the Cleveland Arts Prize in 1983.
