A Century of German Ceramic Arts

The reason for this bizarre-sounding exhibition is that German artists working in ceramics at the end of the 19th-century suddenly came under a new set of influences from Japan. Experiments with oriental-style glazing eventually resulted in the refinement of a technique that ultimately led in to the influential Bauhaus and Jugendstil movements. This exhibition presents 190 works by 70 artists, spanning the whole of the 20th-century.
