About Gorky González Quiñones
- Gorky González Quiñones (September 27, 1939 – January 15, 2017) was a Mexican potter who won the Premio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes for his efforts to revive Mexican maiolica pottery.
- He began in the arts following his father, sculptor Rodolfo González.
- Although he worked with and studied ceramics in Mexico and Japan, he did not work with maiolica until he received two pieces as part of his antique business.
- The technique had almost died out in his region, and González Quiñones learned how to make them.
- His workshop was in Guanajuato, with a client base in Mexico and the United States.
