Press Release

For the 2022 edition of ADAA: The Art Show, James Cohan will present sculptures by the American master ceramicist Toshiko Takaezu (b. 1922, Pepeekeo, Hawaii - d. 2011, Honolulu, Hawaii). Over her five-decade career, Takaezu's aesthetic approach was influenced by Abstract Expressionism and the traditions of East Asia, including ink painting and the Japanese tea ceremony. Her signature closed forms fuse these visual inspirations and demonstrate the artist’s process of abstraction, in which she experimented with gestural application of glazes, treating the vessel as a canvas in the round.

 

In advance of the fair, preview a selection of available works in our Viewing Room.
