Radical Clay: Contemporary Women Artists from Japan

Radical Clay: Contemporary Women Artists from Japan showcases 36 contemporary Japanese women ceramic artists. Drawn from the renowned Horvitz Collection, the exhibition highlights innovative, technically ambitious sculptures created since the 1970s by both established and emerging artists. The works explore diverse motifs—human anatomy, flora, geology, and abstract forms—through bold approaches to scale, color, and surface. Rejecting gendered expectations, these artists work across traditionally so-called “feminine” and “masculine” subjects in unconventional ways.
