The Collector’s Eye: Appreciating and Collecting Contemporary Japanese Ceramics

Wednesday, December 13
6:30 pm

With an exponential increase of interest in the world of Japanese ceramics today from collectors, curators and dealers both in Japan and the West, it is increasingly important to understand the established Japanese systems for ceramic education, exhibition and promotion. Evaluating an artist’s work both technically and aesthetically and placing it within or outside of that context is essential. Established dealers and authors Beatrice Chang and Joan B. Mirviss are joined by noted collectors Dr. Victoria Chan-Palay and Steven Korff to discuss these and other aspects of collecting Japanese contemporary ceramics. Moderated by Richard J. Wood, President, Japan Society.

Followed by a reception.

Tickets: $10/$8 members, $5 seniors and students. Order tickets online below or call the Box Office at (212) 715-1258.
