Nature, Tradition & Innovation: Contemporary Japanese Ceramics

Nature, Tradition, and Innovation: Contemporary Japanese Ceramics from the Gordon Brodfuehrer Collection is an engaging, thought-provoking, and interdisciplinary look at contemporary Japanese Ceramics paired with nature photographs.

Featuring 43 exceptional Japanese artists, this exhibition showcases ceramic objects of unsurpassed beauty made for everyday use. The 55 works chosen are closely associated with Japan’s historical pottery centers and reinterpret traditional methods in a modern context. The spiritual link between art and nature is poetically highlighted by 11 digital photographs taken by photographer Taijiro Ito which are paired with related ceramics in the exhibit.
