The Allure of Japanese Contemporary Ceramics

Based on an exclusive launch event in Tokyo for The Allure of Japanese Contemporary Ceramics last year, we now open up that conversation with a new panel of artists and to share with a wider audience. Singled out for their pioneering work, each artist has masterfully balanced tradition and innovation. As their longtime dealer, Joan B. Mirviss brings together these leading lights of contemporary clay for a very special conversation.

Panelists: Akiyama Yō, Kitamura Junko, Kondō Takahiro, Nakamura Takuo, and Jeff Shapiro
