This catalog accompanies the exhibition "From the Fire: Contemporary Japanese Ceramics from the Robert and Lisa Kessler Collection," organized by the Denver Art Museum and on view September 25, 2016-October 1, 2017.
Drawn from the celebrated collection of Robert and Lisa Kessler, the sixty-five diverse pieces in this exhibition catalog reflect the shifting dynamics of tradition and innovation in Japanese ceramics after World War II. Generously illustrated with full-page images of every object in the exhibition, the publication offers a close-up look at the work of some of Japan’s best-known ceramists, from Living National Treasures to emerging artists. Essays by Denver Art Museum curator Tianlong Jiao and Japanese ceramics expert Andrew Maske provide historical and cultural context for these remarkable works of art.
