With an unbroken history in clay spanning two millennia, Japan expanded its mastery of functional ceramic traditions in the post-war era to include a burgeoning interest in clay sculpture. Marrying form and surface, Japanese artists drew from past practices and aesthetics to create ground-breaking sculptural forms that continue to lead the world in terms of technical mastery and originality. These works have revolutionized how sophisticated collectors and curators worldwide view and think about ceramic art.
Joan B Mirviss LTD invites you to experience FORM not FUNCTION: Masters of Japanese Sculptural Clay, at The Winter Show 2025. Our booth will feature extraordinary clay creations from over thirty masterful modern and contemporary sculptors, each bringing their unique artistic vision to life.
