(★)´SA-157´ es mismo libro. (Once neglected in the West, Japanese basketry now claims a loyal following among art lovers, collectors, and craftspeople in the United States and Europe. ´Japanese Bamboo Baskets : Meiji, Modern, Contemporary´acknowledges this growing interest by presenting a stunning array of the best baskets to come out of Japan in the last 150 years. The authors --Japanese experts in the field-- have selected superb examples from private and museum collections throughout the world. They focus on the breathtaking works by the masters of the traditional form --Rokansai, Shokosai, and Chikuunsai-- as well as pieces of the leading contemporary artists, whose groundbreaking sculptural efforts are attracting ever-greater attention from the international art community. ´Japanese Bamboo Baskets´ frames the pieces in a wealth of original material, beginning with a preface by pioneer collector Lloyd Cotsen. Masanori Moroyama, curator at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, contributes a campelling history of this forgotten art, while bamboo basket expert Masami Oguchi provides potent insights into the creators and their works. A trio of interviews with top artists, a pair of essays, and an extensive photo-catalogue of weaving patterns round out this ambitious volume.) |
