About
Infused with color and sculptural audacity, contemporary Japanese ceramics reveal a boundless reimagining of clay. In New Japanese Clay, rugged forms recall stone and soil, while others unfold with the delicacy of paper or the airiness of billowing cloth. Together, these works push the boundaries of a centuries-old tradition, offering a striking redefinition of the medium's expressive potential. The exhibition also introduces visitors to the makers behind the works on view.
