Maak is presenting ‘Ceramic Art of the East’ an auction dedicated to exceptional Japanese ceramics. For this auction Maak has worked closely with Mitochu Koeki Company, the internationally respected Tokyo gallery who have specialised in handling the very best twentieth  century and  contemporary  works  of Japanese ceramics since 1986. In this collaboration, Maak and Mitochu Koeki have used their extensive connections to bring together an intriguing range of approximately 150 high quality works by some of the leading modern and contemporary masters of Japan, from Mingei artists through to Sodeisha and contemporary makers, fulfilling a shared ambition to promote a global market for modern and contemporary Japanese ceramics.

The collections will be available to view in Maak’s pop-up gallery, 40 Earlham Street, Covent Garden 16th – 21st November or online from the 1st November.

Marijke Varrall-Jones of Maak  says “Maak has been proactively working to build the market of Japanese ceramics within the context of our Contemporary Ceramics auctions for many years. Today interest is now grown to a point that the grouping merits its own dedicated auction. There’s a very active, growing of number of collectors in the UK and beyond that are specifically interested in Japanese ceramics – and we are excited to be able to work with Mitochu Koeki to present a quality offering and help shine a bigger spotlight on this collecting area with ‘Ceramic Art of the East’.”
