China Institute Gallery
November 29, 2012
The China Institute in America located on 65th street in Manhattan was amzing. The New “China”: Porcelain Art from Jingdezhen is currently display at the institute. The exhibition showcase varies unique ceramic art from 1910-2012. The exhibition explores the cultural changes in China’s ceramic art during the past century.
The piece Made in the Postmodern Era, no.4 by Sin-ying Ho in particular caught my attention. Unlike traditional ceramic vases, this distorted vase is painted with pictures of Chairman Mao, Mona Lisa, and Andy Warhol ‘s Marilyn Monroe along with dragons. Andy Warhol and Marilyn Monroe, both western icons are printed on a ceramic vase! Tell me that is not amazing. This is incredible! Ceramic art is evolving and adopting as China’s culture changes. I think this vase truly shows the evolution in ceramic art.
Now lets take a visual tour of this exhibition!
