Korean Ceramics: From Goryeo Elegance to Contemporary Form
This collection traces the rich legacy of Korean ceramics, from the serene celadon of the Goryeo dynasty to bold contemporary interpretations by today’s leading artists.
Highlights include the soft green translucency of antique Goryeo celadon, the expressive surfaces of Joseon white porcelain, and modern works that reinterpret these traditions with fresh vision. Across centuries, Korean ceramics have maintained a deep connection to nature, restraint, and poetic form—values still visible in every curve, crackle, and glaze.
