JANUARY 20 – 29, 2023
To mark The Winter Show's triumphant return to the Park Avenue Armory, we are delighted to present 10 x 10 Past and Present: Japanese Masters of Ceramics. The range of technical skills, innovative approaches to clay, and the sheer depth of artistic talent exhibited in the work by Japanese ceramic masters, will be on full display. These featured artists demonstrate a command of the medium that confirms Japanese clay art's position as the most varied and exciting anywhere in the world today. 10 x 10 is also a celebration of the gallery's longtime mission to bridge historic and contemporary Japanese fine art and place them in fascinating conversations – a mission it has successfully achieved at The Winter Show for over forty years and counting.
Joan B Mirviss LTD features not only the astonishing scope and quality of the best of the best of Japanese ceramics, but also highlights its surprising legacies from the past and into the 21st century.
