ART TALK: On the Japanese Teabowl Tradition

Attracted to the shared aesthetics of Frank Lloyd Wright and Japanese ceramics, Henry Whiting has begun to fill his Wright home, Teater’s Knoll, with ceramics by Shiro Tsujimura, whose teabowls take inspiration from centuries-old Japanese traditions but reflect a decidedly contemporary approach. Whiting will be in conversation with Shoko Aono, Director of the Ippodo Gallery in New York, who represents Tsujimura and is an expert in Japanese art, culture and ceramics.
