Transcendent Clay / Kondo: A Century of Japanese Ceramic Art
Thru Sun 09/24/2023
This exhibition features works by three generations of the Kyoto-based Kondo ceramic dynasty. Ranging from traditional porcelain vessels to meditative sculptures cast from the artist’s body and accented with a “silver mist” glaze, this compelling exhibition serves as a bridge between the past and the present as well as meditation on the future of Japanese ceramics.
This exhibition was curated by Joe Earle and organized by the Lowe Art Museum. Joe Earle was the Director of Japan Society Gallery in New York until 2012 and has held leadership positions in Asian art departments at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
