Friends Lecture: Transcendent Clay: Kondō Porcelains
Join Joe Earle, former head of Asian art at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for an insightful lecture on Mia’s exhibition “Transcendent Clay: The Kondō Family’s Path of Porcelain Innovations.” Drawing from his extensive experience and work on two major Kondō-related projects, Earle will explore the evolution of this distinguished ceramic lineage—from Kondō Yūzō’s early 20th-century influences to Kondō Takahiro’s groundbreaking contemporary practice.
Following the lecture, ceramic artist Kondō Takahiro will join Earle onstage, along with collector Jeffrey Horvitz and gallerist Joan Mirviss, for a lively panel discussion about Kondō Takahiro–his development, achievements, and international reception.
Andreas Marks, Mia’s Mary Griggs Burke Curator of Japanese and Korean Art, will moderate.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain expert insights into the ceramic artistry, tradition, and innovation that define the Kondō family’s legacy.
