Toshiko Takaezu Exhibition
James Cohan Gallery
This event has ended.
James Cohan presents a selection of sculptures by the American master ceramicist Toshiko Takaezu from an important private collection, on view at 48 Walker Street. This presentation expands on related bodies of work featured in the 2022 edition of the Venice Biennale as part of Cecilia Alemani’s exhibition, The Milk of Dreams.
Toshiko Takaezu (b. 1922, Pepeekeo, Hawaii - d. 2011, Honolulu, Hawaii) had a prolific career that spanned five decades. Her 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.
