  • Toshiko Takaezu (1922-2011),Lidded Canister, Glazed Ceramic
    Feb. 25, 2025

    Toshiko Takaezu (1922-2011),Lidded Canister, Glazed Ceramic

    Est: $1,500 - $2,500

    Property of Private Collection, SC Description: Toshiko Takaezu (American/Japanese, 1922-2011),Lidded Canister, Glazed Ceramic, with incised initial signature on underside, the cylindrical body decorated with looping black and brown glaze. Provenance: according to the consignor Toshiko Takaezu was a family friend and close acquaintance of her mother, Naomi M. Cohan who was a painter and printmaker. Her work is also featured in the auction. Cohan took a ceramics class at The Cleveland Institute of Art in the late 1950's where Takaezu was her teacher. Cohan stayed connected with Takaezu and she became close with the family. The works in the auction were purchased directly from the artist by Naomi Cohan and inherited by the current consignor, her daughter. Born on June 17, 1922 in Pepeekeo, HI, Toshiko Takaezu was the daughter of Japanese immigrants. Toshiko went on to receive her formal training from the University of Hawaii and the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan, where she later taught. Her artwork spanned ceramics, fiber pieces, bronzes, and paintings, but she was best known for her ceramic work, which was instrumental in establishing ceramics as a fine art. Throughout her lifetime, her work was exhibited widely in the United States and Japan, including a solo exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (2004) and a retrospective at the National Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto, Japan (1995). Today, her works are in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., the Milwaukee Art Museum, and the Honolulu Museum of Art. In 2024 the Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum curated a major touring retrospective and monograph centered on her work and life. The retrospective traveled to the Cranbrook Art Museum in Bloomfield Hills, Mich; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Chazen Museum of Art, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; and the Honolulu Museum of Art, and included about 200 works in ceramics as well as the artist’s paintings, weavings and bronze-cast sculptures.

    Est: -

    Toshiko Takaezu Studio Pottery Yunomi Tea Cup. Signed on the underside with the artists traditional TT mark. Toshiko Takaezu (1922–2011) was a pioneering Japanese-American ceramic artist known for her abstract, sculptural forms that blurred the line between pottery and fine art. Born in Hawaii to Japanese immigrant parents, her work was influenced by both American modernism and Japanese traditions, particularly Zen Buddhism and the concept of wabi-sabi. Takaezu’s signature pieces, often rounded, closed forms with richly layered glazes, were deeply meditative, focusing on form and material rather than function. As an educator, she taught at Princeton University and inspired many artists to see clay as a medium for artistic expression. Her work is featured in major museums, and she is celebrated for elevating ceramics to the realm of fine art. Keywords: China, Porcelain, Pottery; Ref: BD1043
