Joan B Mirviss LTD is delighted to host the third solo show of Fukumoto Fuku during Asia Week New York Autumn 2024. Quiet Elegance: The Ceramics of Fukumoto Fuku will feature over two dozen of her captivating sculptures and teabowls, created specifically for this exhibition.
The enchanting work in porcelain by Fukumoto continues to enthrall collectors and curators with their soft, radiant, unglazed surfaces punctuated by glistening glazes in shades of blue ranging from the deepest cobalt or teal to powder blue or soft gray. With the occasional final addition of platinum or gold leaf to the surfaces, her finished vessels evoke the ephemeral radiance of the sun or moon peeking through clouds or mist – embodying each sculpture with a wistful beauty.
They look forward to your visit when the exhibit opens this Friday, September 13th!
