PAINTED CLAY: Wada Morihiro and Modern Ceramics of Japan

Standing at the center of a long tradition of Japanese painted ceramic decoration is Wada Morihiro (1944-2008), a revered artist of intricate surface patterning on exceptional creative functional forms. For Asia Week New York 2023, Joan B Mirviss LTD is thrilled to present an exhibition of this master's oeuvre alongside the many Japanese artists who paint on clay, employing a wide range of techniques. These varied and dynamic works by Wada's colleagues and successors will stand in conversation with those by Wada and provide a rich context for painting on Japanese ceramics. PAINTED CLAY: Wada Morihiro and Modern Ceramics of Japan is an illustrated printed catalogue with essays by Diana X. Yang, doctoral candidate at Bard Graduate Center, and Alice North, art collector and museum patron. The catalogue also includes artist biographies and references.
