"The storied dealer Joan B. Mirviss represents many of the artists in 'Radical Clay: Contemporary Women Artists from Japan,' currently at the Art Institute of Chicago. Commissioning pieces for the Winter Show from as many as she could, she built a booth that feels as varied, in texture and color, as any 10 others," writes Will Heinrich in the New York Times.

"Contemporary work at Joan B. Mirviss creates a conversation with ceramicists and techniques of the past. A sculpture juxtaposing textures and materials within a restricted palette, its geometric planes become a dialogue of both mesmerizing, yet confounding surfaces."

From 70 dealers of art and antiques presenting this year, artnet has selected Joan B Mirviss LTD as one of just five booths to highlight in its coverage. 

"In recent years, the fair has welcomed an increasing amount of contemporary works, especially those that reference back to historical movements... The Joan B Mirviss gallery’s survey of Japanese women clay artists, displaying the ingenuity of talents from post-war through the present, is a great example of this thinking." 

“This show brings together artists on the cutting edge of invention in terms of materials, glaze, and technique, and we are thrilled to recognize their contributions to the global ceramics field,” said Janice Katz, Roger L. Weston Associate Curator of Japanese Art, the Art Institute of Chicago.

"Real Chicagoans know winter is the best season for museum-hopping in this city. New exhibitions spring up everywhere, it’s off-season for tourists and best of all, you can kill an afternoon while staying indoors." Hannah Edgar shares her art exhibitions picks for winter 2024 in the Chicago Tribune.
