"Carlo Zauli: A Retrospective" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo
Media: Sculpture
Known internationally as a great innovator of modern ceramics, Carlo Zauli (1926-2002) was an Italian master ceramic artist who had considerable influence also on Japanese counterparts. This is the first retrospective exhibition after his death, planned as part of international exchange with Faenza, the city where Zauli was active as a ceramic artist. While thoroughly exploring the possibilities of clay in his dynamic ceramic sculptures, Zauli also displayed unusual talent in his subtle, elaborate architectural façades and tile designs. This show traces his forty-year career after 1951.

How Carlo Zauli changed the course of contemporary Japanese ceramics
By D.H. Rosen
Special to The Japan Times
"In Italy, nobody used stoneware," explains Matteo Zauli, Carlo's oldest son and the chief curator of the Carlo Zauli Museum in Faenza. "His friends and other Italian ceramists said, 'What are you doing? This material is too rough. These glazes are too poor, they are not refined.' But some art critics understood immediately that this change was very important for Italy and all of Europe" ...
