JOAN B MIRVISS LTD. 39 EAST 78TH STREET NYC
For this autumn’s Asia Week New York, JOAN B. MIRVISS LTD will present
our new exhibition showcasing the many imprints of Chinese ceramics on
Japanese clay art. Ranging from the delicate beauty of pale celadon to
striking deep-brown iron glazes, The Eight Winds represents the flow
from China to Japan of ceramic traditions that occur in both vessel
construction and applied glazes. The Eight Winds highlights
contemporary Japanese artists whose works breathe new spirit into eight
age-old processes: blue-and-white, celadon, iron, polychrome, oil-spot and
white glazing, as well as marbled clay and slip inlay. All have proven to be
vital sources of inspiration that have been integrated within the Japanese
ceramic vocabulary and are evident in the more than fifty selected
contemporary works included in the exhibition.
