Phoenix Art Museum’s ‘Radical Clay’

Contemporary Women Artists from Japan celebrates the originality and virtuosity of 36 women artists who have explored sculptural expression outside the traditionally male-dominated field of Japanese studio ceramics. The works feature motifs of flora, geology, human anatomy, and fantastical abstract forms illuminate the technical achievements and creativity of leading women ceramicists from post-World War II Japan. The exhibition runs through September 2026.

Colin Pearson, curator for Art of Asia at Phoenix Art Museum, joined “Arizona Horizon” to speak on the history of the art.
