Jun KanekoThis is the first in-depth survey of a Japanese artist whose work has created a new and radical language in ceramics. Born in Nagoya, Japan, but living and working in the U.S. since the early sixties, Jun Kaneko has achieved international renown through his exhibitions, public arts projects, lectures and workshops. He is best know for his "dangos, " large-scale painted forms whose richly glazed surfaces communicate a humanity that belies their huge size. Susan Peterson's thoroughly researched yet highly readable text traces Kaneko's artistic development, examining key moments in his life and interspersing them with previously unpublished statements from the artists and his contemporaries. The text is accompanied by stunning illustrations of his work at the various stages of his career, providing a complete overview of his prodigious oeuvre. |
