Lot Details
double gourd form with wood fired (anagama) glaze. H.150mm. In original box with calligraphic signed lid. Note: Matsuzaki received a degree in Ceramic Art from Tamagawa University School of Fine Arts in Tokyo in 1972, after which he moved to Mashiko to apprentice with Tatsuzo Shimaoka. After a five-year apprenticeship, Matsuzaki established his own kiln, Yuushin Gama. Although Matsuzaki's work has a strong grounding in Mingei philosophy, his approach is very contemporary and focuses on the style of Oribe-yaki with yohen, shino, and oribe glazes. Matsuzaki’s work has been exhibited all over the world and is a part of the permanent collections of: The Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, New York', Victoria and Albert Museum, London and many others.
