Barry Friedman Ltd., New York, NY
In a very special gallery presentation at SOFA NEW YORK, Barry Friedman Ltd., New York, NY will present a focus show entitled Emergence: Early American Studio Glass & its Influences: 1965-1985, featuring works made between 1965 and 1985 by Howard Ben Tre, Dale Chihuly, Erwin Eisch, Michael Glancy, Dominic Labino, Stanislav Libenský/Jaroslava Brychtová, Marvin Lipofsky, Harvey Littleton, Joel Philip Myers, Tom Patti, Frantisek Vizner, Richard Meitner and Toots Zynsky. Carole Hochman of Barry Friedman, Ltd., reports: “Emergence will take a look at the American Studio Glass movement from an historical point of view. Our installation will explore the relationships of these pioneers and how Studio Glass emerged as a movement of colleagues, teachers and students, and independent artists creating on their own. Many of the featured works come directly from the artists’ private archives and have never before been on the market, while other works will be on loan from museums and collectors. As Barry Friedman has acquired the work of many of these artists in depth, several works will come from his private collection. In addition, Tina Oldknow, Curator of Modern Glass at the Corning Museum will moderate what we expect to be a lively and historic panel discussion with the artists in a SOFA NEW YORK Lecture Series presentation on Saturday, June 3, at 10:00 a.m.” Read more on Emergence
New to SOFA NEW YORK this year, gallery gen, Tokyo and New York will represent top Japanese fiber artist, Hideho Tanaka. Tanaka splashed onto the international art scene with his 1984 installation piece Vanishing: Scorched Earth, set in the coastal city of Hamamatsu. A single piece of 20-meter long Indian cotton cloth was extended along the seashore and set on fire, blowing a swirl of ashes into the air. In the SOFA NEW YORK 2006 Catalog essay on Tanaka, Ryu Niimi writes: “Tanaka’s works are intensely intellectual pieces that deal with broad philosophical and metaphysical ideas. Often times these works attempt the seemingly impossible mission of transcending the invisible borders that govern our physical and spiritual world, while somehow interjecting the fragility of the human form within it."

New to SOFA NEW YORK after exhibiting in SOFA CHICAGO for five years, Galerie Besson, London, will present a focus show of works by seminal ceramic modernists Lucie Rie (b. Austria 1902-1995), and Hans Coper (b. Germany 1920-1981), émigrés who lived and worked in England. Both have been honored by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, with major retrospective exhibitions. Rie’s elegant bowls, vases, and platters, and the richness and variety of her glazes remain most notable contributions to modern ceramics. Galerie Besson first exhibited Rie’s work in 1988 when Rie generously supported its inaugural exhibition by making 80 new works, and has continued to exhibit her work on a regular basis ever since.
Galerie Besson will also present seminal ceramics by Hans Coper, who worked with Rie for 13 years in England after World War II. Although vessel-based like Rie's, Coper’s works are strong, gestural—their impact that of sculpture—and like Rie’s works, they are highly collectible. Bonhams reported that at auction, a Lucie Rie fetched £40,000 and Hans Coper, £75,000—“Such is the demand for Lucie Rie and Hans Coper’s work that the sold rates for these two artists consistently remain the highest in our (modern ceramic) sales,” with the total value having risen from the early 1990’s “by just short of 30%, illustrating the continuing growth in this area of the market.” Anita Besson is excited to offer a major white globular Coper sculpture from 1975 at SOFA NEW YORK. Read the SOFA NEW YORK Catalog Essay on Hans Coper & Lucie Rie
Also new to SOFA NEW YORK, Clare Beck at Adrian Sassoon, London will present contemporary works by top artists from the UK including porcelain figural sculpture by Claire Curneen with their emotionally enigmatic power. Curneen said, “I work with porcelain, constructing the figure from thin slivers of clay. Gaps appear in the form, enhancing their fragility, allowing the viewer a glimpse of the dark interior.” Beck is excited about bringing Curneen’s Iznik Figure, glazed and decorated with transfers of gold lustre flowers, which she points out are short lived and bloom only once, ephemeral like human life. Beck will also bring fanciful ceramics inspired by natural forms by Kate Malone, renowned for her 'pebbled' earthenware in which glazes are fired over each other splitting in the process, and accomplished crystalline glazes that produce marvelous semi-random crystal growth on the surface.
Also represented will be metalwork by two Japanese artists based in London—elegant vessel silversmith Hiroshi Suzuki, and abstract jeweler Junko Mori, who was shortlisted for the Jerwood Applied Art Prize 2005, Great Britain’s most prestigious prize in the decorative arts; and jewelry by David Watkins, Head of Department and Professor of Goldsmithing, Silversmithing, Metalwork and Jewellery at London’s Royal College of Art, whom Clare Beck called “most seminal in the contemporary jewelry movement in the UK and a great nurturer of new talent.” Watkins will make a presentation in the SOFA NEW YORK 2006 Lecture Series.
Joan B. Mirviss, Ltd., New York, NY will present a focus show of works by Katô Yasukage, the 14th generation of a most distinguished family of Japanese ceramic masters, whose education departed from tradition with his formal fine art training in sculpture. Mirviss, a specialist in Asian decorative and fine arts, discovered Kato quite by chance in Tokyo in 1999, and will present a one-man show of the young artist’s milky white shino and copper-green glazed oribe vessel forms at SOFA NEW YORK. Her first solo show of Katô’s work in 2003 sold out completely, “to other top dealers whose fields of expertise were in quite different areas, such as Chinese art, antiquities, American 19th century painting, and 18th century French furniture, who purchased or commissioned pieces for their own homes. Katô’s sculptural ceramics appeal to people with a very sophisticated eye, no matter what their collecting emphasis.” Katô will make a presentation in the SOFA NEW YORK 2006 Lecture Series.
Mirviss will also represent Matsui Kosei (1927- 2001) named a named a Ningen Kokuho (Living National Treasure) in 1993 for his neriage or “marbled ware” technique—a painstaking, labor-intensive style dating from 9th century China of layering different-colored clays together to form sandwich-like layers, then carefully carving and slicing the stack into vessel forms. Mirviss said, “Matsui is a great pioneer, he brought neriage back as an important technique in Japanese contemporary ceramics.” Mirviss will also present stunning vessels by Tokuda Yasokichi III (b. 1933), who was named a Living National Treasure in 1997 for his mastery of Kutani glazes, many of which he rediscovered. Mirviss said, “Originating in Ming Dynasty Chinese porcelain, traditional Kutani pottery uses five colors (go-sai): red, blue, yellow, purple and green. Yokuda has ingeniously experimented with pigments and firing methods to develop brilliant new color schemes.”
The venerable Garth Clark Gallery, New York, NY reports it will bring new work by master ceramic artist Akio Takamori including Yellow Karako: “Continuing his exploration of the ceramic figure, Takamori has created a monumental Karako, an idealized, fabled Chinese child figure much used in Japanese art (particularly in Netsuke) and a frequent decorative element in Chinese pottery. The artist's sense of humor comes through in his play on scale, this being the largest figure of his career to date.”
Garth Clark Gallery will also represent mixed-media sculptures by Adelaide Paul, “whose life has been devoted to animals. She has been rescuing and living with greyhounds that were facing a very grim future at the end of their racing careers. Her art brings grace, respect and perhaps even immortality to these animals. Her craft is in combining porcelain with mixed media to contrast the elegance of the animal with the dark reality of human cruelty. In Orsomadre, the masterfully sculpted porcelain pup rests in the jaws of its mother, fully covered in superbly tailored leather, which mimics musculature and is sewn using medical sutures, with a metal zipper replacing the spine.” Garth Clark Gallery represents John Byrd and Doug Jeck, whose works along with Paul’s will be on-view in the SOFA NEW YORK 2006 Special Exhibit One Part Clay, presented by Dean Project, New York, NY.
In its gallery presentation, Dean Project, New York, NY will showcase ceramist Léopold L. Foulem, whose distinguished career extends over more than 30 years. Winner of the prestigious Jean A. Chalmers National Craft Award and the Prix Saidye Bronfman Award in Canada, Foulem's work is represented in numerous private and public collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Shigaraki Museum of Ceramic Art, Japan, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Dean Project will present Foulem’s provocative interpretations of Santa Claus and other popular culture icons such as Colonel Sanders. Of his Santa Claus Reliquary, Foulem said, “This object’s configuration is an appropriation of numerous busts through the history of art, particularly the types starting in the Middle Ages. The gold surface imitates the precious metal of containers where the holy relic was kept. Santa Claus as an icon is a substitute for numerous portraits of unknown saints and heroes. On the one hand, it underscores and turns upside down the narrative and hierarchical value of images and on the other, actualizes and democratizes the figurative content. It is a confrontation of the sacred and the profane, the high and the low, the content and the intent.” Foulem will make a presentation in the SOFA NEW YORK 2006 Lecture Series.
The late Gertraud Möhwald (Galerie b15, Munich, Germany) was a key artist in the 20th c. to use mixed-media. Her poignant, expressionistic figures and heads are remarkable for her integration of shards of fired ceramics and porcelain, colored paper and gold into glazes, slips or raw clay. Renate Wunderle of Galerie b15 returns to SOFA NEW YORK with Möhwald sculptures after a year hiatus in which she oversaw three Möhwald retrospectives at The Landesmuseum Sachsen in Anhalt, Halle; the Ceramic Museum, Frechen; and the HWK Munich, Germany. Wunderle said, “It was the right time to dedicate extensive exhibitions to Gertraud Möhwald, focusing both on her art and craft and above all, paying tribute to her as a sculptor. Her works are now represented in many museums and private collections, not only in the former East, but since the fall of the Berlin Wall, also in numerous West German museums and international collections in the U.S. This year, two major Möhwald sculptures will be presented in the 2006 exhibition, Human Form in Clay at the Museum of Contemporary Ceramic Art, Shiga Prefectural Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park, Japan and the Museum of Ceramic Art, Hyogo, Japan.” Other top ceramic artists represented by Galerie b15 include Michael Cleff, Walter Libuda and Doris Kaiser.
Bellas Artes/Thea Burger of Santa Fe, NM and New York, NY presents new works by Ruth Duckworth, a key artist to emerge from the hybrid world of international modernism with its sacrosanct form and broad-minded attitude to materials.I A German émigré, educated in England in sculpture under Henry Moore and encouraged by Lucie Rie and Hans Coper to return to school to study ceramics, Duckworth is widely acknowledged for affirming clay as a viable medium for sculpture. The artist, who also works in bronze as well as ceramics, enjoyed a major retrospective exhibition in 2005 at the Museum of Arts & Design that is now traveling.
Bellas Artes/Thea Burger will also represent Columbian textile artist, Olga de Amaral, internationally renowned for her painterly, shimmering gold and silver leafed wall hangings and recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005 from the Museum of Arts & Design. De Amaral, Duckworth and American master of the vessel form, Richard DeVore, celebrate their 20th year association with Bellas Artes/Thea Burger in Summer 2006, and its presentation at SOFA NEW YORK promises a stunning overview.
Mid-century modern furniture with its harmonious blend of aesthetics and function first espoused by the Arts and Crafts Movement, returns to SOFA NEW YORK at Moderne Gallery, Philadelphia. Top pieces will be offered by Japanese-American George Nakashima (1905-1990) whose reverence for wood, mingei process and organic forms made him one of the most venerated of post-war American artist designers. Robert Aibel, Director/Owner of Moderne Gallery, whom Architectural Digest called “the leading Nakashima dealer,” is excited about bringing a Nakashima wall divider—“a totally unique and incredible piece,” and a coffee table, which he says is “one of the best coffee tables I have ever seen.” He said prices for Nakashima pieces have jumped since the early 90’s “100 to 500%. A coffee table I sold in 1990 for $5000, I now sell for $25,000—larger pieces sell in the high five figures. At auction, a Nakashima dining room table recently sold for $150,000.” Aibel is excited by pieces by Wharton Esherick and a rare Wendell Castle Music Stand as well as other vintage works from the American Craft Movement, which he has been “holding back from market, building a collection of pieces significant enough to bring to SOFA NEW YORK since the last SOFA NEW YORK.”
Joanna Bird Pottery, London, will bring key historical as well as contemporary ceramics to SOFA NEW YORK, including works by Bernard Leach (1897-1979), credited by many to have ‘fathered’ the 20th Century British Studio Pottery movement. Leach's A Potters' Book is still the key text on the creation and values of studio pottery. A pivotal reformer of Western ceramics according to a 'Sung Standard'—"a striving towards unity, spontaneity and simplicity of form," Leach’s works sell in the 5 figures, with Bonhams reporting a record sale at £28,000. After eleven years in Japan from 1909 to 1920, Leach returned to England and founded Leach Pottery in St. Ives, Cornwall in 1920, along with his friend, fellow potter and Japanese Living National Treasure, Shoji Hamada. Together they build an Asian style multi-chambered ‘climbing kiln’, the first of its kind in the West. Joanna Bird reports she will bring work “from the 1920’s-70’s of Bernard Leach, Shoji Hamada, Michael Cardew (Leach’s first student), Hans Coper and Lucie Rie,” including Tree of Life by Leach. “It is an archetypical image and the life around it is so charming...birds, snails, hills. You can feel the sun about to rise, or set. Bernard made it one of his signature icons. It measures 6” x 6" and was made c1926.” Bird will also represent Elizabeth Fritsch, Daniel Fisher, Edmund de Waal and many other top international contemporary ceramic artists.
Ferrin Gallery, Lenox, MA will present new ceramic works by Sergei Isupov. Leslie Ferrin writes, “Hercules is one of Isupov's most recent pieces completed in the winter of 2006, among the last to be produced in his Richmond, Virginia studio prior to a winter residency in Australia and moving to Massachusetts this spring. It is a beautifully rendered couple, the male face expressing longing and the woman with a peaceful or passive but distant gaze. She is dressed with a hat, hair that appears demurely braided, and a necklace, whereas the male is without adornment. On the reverse of the piece, there is a male falling from the sky, reaching out to rescue or connect with a hand underwater, and a couple embracing in an Adam & Eve-like purity—their gazes do not meet. The eyes tell the story here in each couple. The falling male looks like the artist; the others show some resemblance but not specifically. Isupov would not consider this an autobiographical work any more than anything else he's done, but all his works speak of the surreal psychology of relationships, passions and the universality of experience. He has been called an Erotic Surrealist.”
At SOFA NEW YORK, Ferrin Gallery will also present new work by mixed media artist Marc Petrovic, who creates assemblages in the tradition of Joseph Cornell, which incorporate simple iconic elements such as birds, boats, marbles, and bottles in composed arrangments. Also presented will be new figural/ narrative sculptures by Red Weldon Sandlin, along with works by many top ceramic artists.
Tom Grotta of browngrotta arts, Wilton , CT is excited to bring new fiber art by several artists never before shown at SOFA, including a major textile work from Israel by Sasha Stoyanov entitled 17 Fragments of Light and Shadow. Stoyanov enjoyed considerable success in her native Russia before immigrating to Israel in 1990, including being awarded the 2001 Ministry of Science, Culture and Sports Prize for Design from the Institute for Applied Decorative Arts, Lvov, Ukraine. Stoyanov said 17 Fragments is about “Trying to remember faces, arising from the memory, some familiar, some unknown but it seems you have met them. A sudden flash reveals them from the dark for a fraction of a second. All or part, sometimes crystal clear, sometimes blurred. You desperately try to understand whether it was a reality or a dream?”
Also presented for the first time at SOFA by browngrotta arts are floating steel and fiber wall sculptures by Lilla Kulka from Poland; linen, hemp, paper, cotton tape and pewter wall hangings and stone collages by Sue Lawly of the UK, a 2005 Victoria and Albert Museum artist-in-residence; and weavings by Heidrun Schimmel of Germany. From its distinguished represented artists, browngrotta will premiere large-scale works by Romanian-born artist, Ritzi Jacobi, including a black and white, three-dimensional coconut fiber wall hanging; and a 6.5 x 6.5 foot 18 carat gold, electroplated steel wall sculpture by Jin Sook So; a 4 foot long sculptural basket by Nancy Moore Bess; as well as new works by Scott Rothstein, Mary Giles, Naomi Kobayashi and others.
Heller Gallery, New York, NY will present new work by Beth Lipman, quickly earning renown for her formal, clear glass rendering of still-life paintings from centuries past with their rich history of paying homage to the bounty of nature and God, as well as their counterparts, “vanitas paintings”—which emphasized the fleeting quality of material pleasures. Still-lifes were considered a lower class of painting because their subject matter was deemed proper and fitting for women of the 17th and 18th c. as opposed to nudes or portraiture. Lipman points out that glass has often been considered a second-class material for fine art and moreover, that she is “working in a material that 30 years ago a woman wasn’t allowed to touch.”II While her work embodies these ironies, it is her extraordinary rendering of a still-life’s subject “material” in clear glass, preserving the original composition, which makes them so rich in meaning as well as glittering virtuosity. Katya Heller of Heller Gallery said, “Their sheer beauty leads us to the very edge of luscious ripeness, opulence and excess and by inference, reveals (their) decadence… Lipman's work suggests that the line (between them) is transparently thin.” Lipman will make a presentation in the SOFA NEW YORK 2006 Lecture Series.
Heller Gallery will also represent new work by Italian glass maestro, Lino Tagliapietra. Abstract expressionist, brutalist and pop-art influences resonate in Tagliapietra’s richly colored vessel forms with intricate surface treatment, grounded in 20th century Italian design idiom. Arguably the greatest ambassador of Italian glassmaking in service of art, Tagliapietra has been a most sought-after educator, collaborator and consultant to many artists working with glass worldwide. None have taken greater advantage of his generosity than the Americans. Among the many that have learned from him are Dante Marioni, Richard Marquis and Dale Chihuly. The recipient of most awards available to an artist in his field, and represented in many major museums around the world, Tagliapietra has followed a path few have chosen and in which he has succeeded above all. Italian art historian Giovanni Sarpellon describes his career: “A long technical apprenticeship, during which time he gradually internalized a cultural universe, enabled Tagliapietra initially to excel in making objects designed by others and later to work with increasing independence, his creative inspiration all the easier to express because he was free of technical obstacles.”
Holsten Galleries, Stockbridge, MA reports it will present “some of the finest examples of several series of works by William Morris, created from between 2000-2005,” which are strongly influenced by an interest in archeology and ancient pagan cultures. Morris’ sculptures are part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Musée du Louvre, Paris, Victoria and Albert Museum, London and the Musée des Arts Decoratifs, Paris. Jim Schantz of Holsten Galleries said, “We are privileged and honored to present this body of work by one of the most talented and respected glass artists in the world. Collectively these works represent all of the major themes associated with Morris’s art: myth, animal, artifact, ethnicity and spirituality. They reflect a rare blend of master craftsmanship, artistic vision and soulful content. In them Morris’s fascination with archaeology and indigenous cultures is strongly present. Although each piece can be considered a microcosm related to a specific time and culture, there is in all of them a sense of timeless universality and thus a connection to the macrocosm.” Morris' work is also renowned for his treatment of surface texture to resemblance bone, wood, stone and leather, achieved by various techniques such as sprinkling powdered glass and minerals onto a blown surface, etching, and acid washing to achieve "ancient" and textural diversity.
Principal among other top glass artists that Holsten Galleries will represent at SOFA NEW YORK is Marvin Lipofsky, who introduced glass as an art form into the Design Department of the University of California at Berkeley, and founded the glass program at California College of Arts and Crafts. In the winter of 1971, Lipofsky was invited to present a glass workshop at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, where he and his students built a small oil-fired glass furnace—thus starting the first studio glass program in Israel, which continues today. 35 years later in 2005, Lipofsky returned to Bezalel Academy to once more work with its students; his Bezalel Group 2005 series conveys his impressions of the desert colors and the rich culture of Jerusalem.
Leo Kaplan Modern, New York, NY reports that it will present a new series of sculptures by José Chardiet that blur the boundaries between a decorative and fine art object. Scott Jacobson of Leo Kaplan Modern said, “An innovative sculptor in glass since 1980, Chardiet strives to achieve keen investigations into the nature of reality with his multi-layered compositions. His most recent unveiling of the Vitrine Series has turned the heads of both his collectors and dealers given his departure from sensually organic, abstractly figurative forms. In this body of work, of which Silver Baboon is a fine example, Chardiet overlays architecture and decorative designs by constructing strictly geometric forms in clear glass, and then finishing their skin with richly saturated etchings of elaborate patterns. The addition of a light at the base and a display case play an integral role in the interpretation of the sculpture; the presentation as a vitrine (French glass display cabinet often ornately decorated) seduces the viewer into questioning the historical significance and symbolic purpose of the object contained within.”
Maurine Littleton Gallery, Washington, DC will present new work by Ginny Ruffner, well known for her colorful lamp-worked sculptures with provocative titles that often reference myth and art history. Although she began her art career in painting, Ruffner was moved to try working with glass as a canvas, and her new series foregrounds the concept of the frame. Maurine Littleton said, “In the Shape Lessons series, Ruffner has employed the technique of lampworking to create beautifully painted, framed images on easels. Figurative icons miniaturized in scale are placed within different natural landscapes. In Shape Lessons: Unseen Art History pt. 2, Venus, Titian’s Venus of Urbino reclines in front of large leaves and dandelion stalks. Ruffner says: “The Shape Lessons series typically invite the viewer to pay attention to the unnoticed possibilities in the visual landscape or to be aware of the overlooked visual similarities of disparate objects in that landscape.” Ginny Ruffner’s work is in the collections of the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art, Sapporo, Japan, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, WA, and many others.
Jan Peters of del Mano Gallery, Los Angeles, CA is excited about collaborative mixed-media artworks by Louise Hibbert and Sarah Parker-Eaton that the gallery will present in New York. Peters said, “Hamiltonii is a collaboration between two women artists, one from England and one from Wales that now lives in Virginia, created in a residence program in Australia. Sarah Parker-Eaton is an English metalsmith and Louise Hibbert is a wood artist from Wales (now married to an American). While in Western Australia, Louise and Sarah began researching a new series of works based on native Western Australian flora. The residency gave them the opportunity to work together in one space. They have been collaborating for several years, sending their pieces back and forth from England to Wales and now across the Atlantic, each adding their own creative ideas. Many of their pieces are containers, with small magnets imbedded, which make the way they open and close very unusual.”
Daniel Hamparsumyan reports that Loveed Fine Arts, New York, NY “is excited to bring for the third year the work of Shin Sang Ho, arguably Korea's most recognized contemporary artist using ceramics as his medium. A presentation of Fired Paintings, the artist's brilliantly colored square ceramic tiles that incorporate geometric patterned designs, reflect both native Korean and other “exotic” influences. Drawing from his acclaimed “Dream of Africa” series, this body of work features characteristics of African tribal art and exude strength, boldness and a very primordial sense of energy. An entire wall of Fired Paintings will be on view, similar to a serial version successfully installed in the newly opened Clayarch Gimhae Museum in South Korea dedicated to bringing the arts and technologies of ceramics and architecture together. Shin Sang Ho, who was featured in a June 2005 Wall Street Journal article on the future of ceramics, will have a major retrospective next year at the Musee Guimet in Paris. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Everson Museum, Syracuse, NY, the Cleveland Museum of Art, The National Ceramic Museum, Sevres, France, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the National British Museum, London, the National Museum of Contemporary Art (Korea) and numerous other institutions worldwide.” For more SOFA NEW YORK 2006 Gallery and Dealer presentations, VIEW DEALER'S CHOICE on sofaexpo.com. -------------------- I Julian Stair, Art in America, December 2005 |
