The closed ceramic forms for which she is best known are effectively abstract paintings in the round. Her reputation as a ceramic artist, however, has obscured the breadth of her output in other mediums and her role within the larger art movements of the twentieth century. This book provides the first retrospective assessment of Takaezu's art and life, representing her diverse oeuvre, which spanned six decades, and her hybrid identity as an Asian American woman, artist, and teacher. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This ambitious volume features essays exploring Takaezu's biography, her background as a Hawai'i-born artist of Okinawan heritage, the relationship between her abstract work and that of her contemporaries, the role of cultural exchange in her art, her impact as an educator, and more. Beautifully illustrated with nearly 300 images of artworks and archival photographs, and including an updated chronology, exhibition history, and recollections from the artist's former apprentices, the book offers a compelling and comprehensive account of this singular artist's career. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published in association with The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, New York\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (March 20-July 28, 2024) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCranbrook Art Museum, Bloomfield Hills, MI\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (September 11, 2024-January 12, 2025) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMuseum of Fine Arts, Houston\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (March 2-May 18, 2025) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eChazen Museum of Art\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (September 8-December 23, 2025) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHonolulu Museum of Art\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (February 13-July 26, 2026)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGlenn Adamson\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent art historian and curator, and author of \u003ci\u003eCraft: An American History\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eDakin Hart\u003c\/b\u003e is former senior curator and \u003cb\u003eKate Wiener\u003c\/b\u003e is curator, both at The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 11.3 x 9.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 30, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48013001982200,"sku":"9780300267402","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/aoXLRx_Zog9780300267402.webp?v=1771872926","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/toshiko-takaezu-worlds-within-hardcover","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
