Evolution of Chinese Ceramics and Their Global Influence

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art

A completely new installation on the second-floor balcony surrounding The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Great Hall features more than 300 examples from the Museum's important and extensive collection of Chinese ceramics, which began with a purchase of about 1,000 pieces in 1879. The display focuses on the technological and historical development of Chinese ceramics from the sixth through the 18th century, including recently acquired pieces as well as works that are being shown for the first time. The Chinese works are interspersed with 100 comparative works from Korea and Japan, Southeast Asia, the Islamic world, Europe, and the Americas, to illustrate the seminal role played by Chinese pottery in global ceramic history from the eighth to the 21st century. This long-term display, which was completed this summer, is the first full re-installation of the Great Hall Balcony in more than three decades.

Ken Price Sculpture: A Retrospective

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art

This retrospective, the first major museum exhibition of Ken Price's work in New York, will trace the development of his ceramic sculptures with approximately sixty-five examples from 1959 to the present. The selection will range from the luminously glazed ovoid forms of Price's early work to the suggestive, molten-like slumps he has made since the 1990s. In addition to the sculpture, there will be a small group of Price's landscape drawings from the past ten years. The artist's close friend, the architect Frank Gehry, will collaborate on the design of the exhibition.

Birds in the Art of Japan

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art

Showcasing some 150 works in various media from medieval times to the present, the exhibition 'Birds in the Art of Japan' will explore how Japanese artists have depicted bird species of every variety--from monochromatic ravens, crows, and mynah birds to colorful peacocks, long-tailed cocks, and magpies. Highlights of the exhibition include such masterpieces as a pair of screens depicting a flock of mynah birds and four enormous paintings of birds of prey by Kawanabe Kyosai (1831-1889). Among the contemporary works in the exhibition will be graphically potent black-and-white photographs from the celebrated 'Solitude of Ravens' series by the late Fukase Masahisa (1934-2012). Displays of paintings will be juxtaposed with examples of modern and contemporary textiles, ceramics, lacquerware, and bamboo art. Drawn mostly from the Metropolitan's own collection, including important recent acquisitions, the exhibition also presents some 15 objects from private collections--several of these loans will be displayed publicly in this exhibition for the first time.
