White Tower
Masanobu Ando
$310.00 USD
-
Introduction
I am a White Tower. Not to be confused with Ivory Tower - a very distant relation, on my father's side, twice removed.
- Curator's Notes
Though Masanobu Ando is celebrated for his work in functional ceramics, his beginnings in contemporary sculpture continue to influence his oeuvre. This piece is reminiscent of a skyscraper with its jagged pillar and cut-out windows, and casts an impressive shadow when placed in a window or under a spotlight. The starkness of the sculpture exhibits a reverence for clay as it really is - geologic and unrefined. A distinctive hand-painted glaze makes the piece unmistakably Ando-san's creation.
White Tower was curated by Angélique Chmielewski
