THE POT BOOK: A GLOBAL SURVEY OF CERAMIC CRAFT AND DESIGN

3万年以上にわたる陶芸の歴史を網羅した作品集。著名な陶芸家で作家のエドマンド・ドゥ・ヴァール(Edmund de Waal)がキュレーションを手がけた。

陶芸の歴史は、人類の歴史に深く刻まれている。最も早く発達した工芸のひとつである陶製の人工物は、後期旧石器時代にまでさかのぼり、私たちと先人たちの日常生活において、この素材が重要な位置を占めていたことを物語っている。

本書は、時代と世界各地を越えて生み出された300点以上の陶芸作品を見渡す、見事な一冊である。同アーティストがキュレーションした多彩な選定には、水差し、花瓶、皿、ビーカー、アンフォラなどが含まれる。

収録作品は、素朴なものから崇高なものまで幅広い。紀元前3千年紀にさかのぼる、名もなき中国の職人による手描きの水差し。18世紀のコペンハーゲンで作られた、繊細な磁器の皿。影響力のあるイタリアのデザイナー、エットレ・ソットサス(Ettore Sottsass)による、遊び心のある花瓶。フィービー・コリングス=ジェームズ(Phoebe Collings-James)、シアスター・ゲイツ(Theaster Gates)、シモーネ・リー(Simone Leigh)、グレイソン・ペリー(Grayson Perry)らによる現代アート作品。そのほか、魅力的な作品が並ぶ。

各項目には1ページが割かれ、大判の画像に、主要なデータと、示唆に富む読み応えのある文章が添えられている。項目は、作者・陶工の名前、流派、様式の名前のアルファベット順に並べられ、この芸術形式のきわめて優れた例をめぐる、壮大な旅をつくり出している。

An extraordinary survey of ceramics spanning over thirty thousand years, curated by the famed artist and writer Edmund de Waal

The history of ceramics is ingrained in the history of humankind. Among the earliest crafts to develop, ceramic artifacts date back to the late Paleolithic period, revealing the prominence of this medium in our everyday lives and those of our predecessors.

The Pot Book is a stunning survey of over 300 ceramic objects created across eras and around the world. Curated by artist and writer Edmund de Waal, the diverse selection includes jugs, vases, plates, beakers, amphorae, and more.

Entries range from the simple to the sublime: a hand-painted jug by an unnamed Chinese artisan that dates back to the third millennium BC; a delicate porcelain plate from eighteenth-century Copenhagen; a playful vase by the influential Italian designer Ettore Sottsass; contemporary artworks by Phoebe Collings-James, Theaster Gates, Simone Leigh, and Grayson Perry ; and other fascinating objects.

Each entry is represented with a dedicated full page featuring a large-scale image accompanied by key details and insightful, engaging text. Each entry is sequenced in alphabetical order by the name of the artist/potter, the school, or style, creating a grand tour through the very finest examples of the art form.
