Ceramic Closed Form Sculpture by Toshiko Takaezu
-
Description
A ceramic closed-form pot by Japanese American artist Toshiko Takaezu (American, 1922 - 2011). This iconic form by the artist takes the simplest organic form but is instilled with a deeper philosophy. The void space and the air trapped inside of the pot was considered by the artist as important as the physical material that defines the space. The pot showcases a white body with a splashed glaze in light brown, beige that morphed into a dark brown with a hint of green. Abstract and free-spirited, the artist's applied her signature glaze with a poetic approach that highlights a strong wabi-sabi spirit and aesthetics rooted in Japanese culture. The pot was marked with incised TT on the base.
The artist's work, heavily influenced by the Japanese ceramic tradition and aesthetics, elevated pottery into the status of fine art. - More Information
