Presented at the Park Avenue Armory for The Winter Show this January, Joan B Mirviss LTD will explore the vital role of groundbreaking Japanese women clay artists in the prominent global position of Japanese ceramics, from the postwar generation to the present. Coinciding with the exhibition Radical Clay: Contemporary Women Artists from Japan, which opened December 16, 2023 at the Art Institute of Chicago, Joan B Mirviss LTD will feature the work of twenty-five pioneering female artists spanning three generations who overcame numerous social and cultural barriers to express both eloquence and strength through clay. These artists are at the vanguard of the development of Japanese ceramics in what is certainly one of the richest and most diverse creative periods in its long history.
