LISTENING TO CLAY: The Artists, Curators, and Collectors Who Listen

ZOOM Gallery Talk Listening to Clay: The Artists, Curators, and Collectors Who Listen An event in partnership with Asia Week New York Recorded on July 26, 2022 To celebrate the publication of Listening to Clay: Conversations with Contemporary Japanese Ceramic Artists, and the accompanying gallery exhibition at Joan B Mirviss LTD, authors Alice and Halsey North and Louise Allison Cort discuss in depth their personal relationships with these sixteen artists that formed the basis for this book. From their perspective as collectors, they offer a behindthescenes look at these artists gleaned over many years and share valuable insights into the artworks by these men and women. They are joined by Metropolitan Museum of Art curator of Japanese decorative arts Monika Bincsik, who recounts the importance of the Norths gift to the Met Museum. In her recent reinstallation of the Great Hall Balcony, she recontextualizes the work of artists in conversation with their Western counterparts. PANELIS
