The Works of Ken Price, Sculptor The ceramics artist Ken Price, considered a 20th-century American master in sculpture, died Friday at his home in New Mexico. He was 77, and had battled tongue and throat cancer in recent years. A career retrospective of his work is scheduled to open in Los Angeles later this year and will appear at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2013.
