Movements in Monochrome | 27 – 30 July 2020
The final auction of Maak's Spring and Summer season Movements in Monochrome will bring together a striking selection of works that explores the extreme diversity of studio ceramics, whilst united through shared tones of black and white.
John Ward | L to R lot 60, 59, 61
Monochromatic works have been carefully selected to offer dialogues between vessel forms that at first appear simplistic to the eye yet have enabled modern and contemporary artists to explore and experiment with complex sculptural forms. Additionally, the adoption of black and white glazes by ceramicists can at once evoke urban landscapes as well as natural elements.
John Ward, Lot 58 & Akiko Hirai, Lot 103
Masters whose work illustrates the ability of monochromatic finishes to create dramatic and energetic vessels include Lucie Rie, Gordon Baldwin, John Ward, Ursula Morley Price and Edmund de Waal.
