HARUMI NAKASHIMA: TWISTING BACK, MULTIPLYINGBy Harumi Nakashima, signed by the artistJapan, 2011Outstanding and large porcelain biomorphic abstract sculpture covered in clear glaze and regularly distributed opulent cobalt blue polka dots of varying sizes, titled 'Twisting Back, Multiplying', hand-built by the famous Japanese ceramic artist Harumi Nakashima ä¸å³¶æ™´ç¾Ž (1950). Signed at the bottom in a dot '1104 æ™´' (1104 Haru). Made in 2011.HEIGHT 41 cm, WIDTH 53 cm, DEPTH 33 cm Condition: Excellent condition.Born in 1950 in Ena, Gifu Prefecture, Harumi Nakashima ä¸å³¶æ™´ç¾Ž is known for his biomorphic porcelain sculptures decorated with opulent blue dots. He excels in clay creations far removed from both tradition and functionality. Taking great care to achieve a flawless surface and form, each piece is created over the course of six months. Nakashima's early reputation was cemented as one of the leading teachers at the Tajimi Pottery Design and Technical Center, having trained and influenced many of the promising young ceramicists of Japan since 1976. Nakashima has received leading prizes and tributes. With works collected by 20 public institutions the world over, including the Museum of Arts and Design in New York and the Faenza Ceramics Museum in Italy, he is one of Japan's most celebrated porcelain artist. Influenced by the blue sometsuke (under-glaze) motifs of traditional Japanese porcelain, Nakashima's motifs also use cobalt blue over-glaze. Yet unlike traditional methods, Nakashima's blue dots are painted over the body of a work after the main firing, and then fired into the white glaze of the porcelain with a second firing using the technique of "in-glazing", thereby leading to the sinking of the dots upon the white overglaze. Perhaps more surprising is the fact that his organic, sprawling and fluid porcelain bodies are entirely hand-built. As porcelain is extremely difficult to manipulate by free-hand, Nakashima intentionally uses this method to create not only tension, but an epic "battle with clay". He is currently based in the port city of Nagoya, and some of his more recent exhibitions are: 2021 Art Market San Francisco, Duane Reed Gallery Duane Reed Gallery, St. Louis, MO 2020 Sokyo Gallery, Kyoto, Japan Gallery VOICE, Tajimi, Gifu, Japan 2019 SOFA Chicago, Duane Reed Gallery Taijimi City Pottery Design and Technical Center, Gallery Suki, Aichi, Japan The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo 2018 Meguro Gallery, Yokkaichi, Mie, Japan The Tsinghua University Art Museum, Beijing, China SOFA Chicago, Duane Reed Gallery Art Market San Francisco, Duane Reed Gallery 2017 Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, Tokyo SOFA Chicago, Duane Reed GalleryAuction comparison:Compare a closely related porcelain sculpture by Haruma Nakashima, titled 'Struggling Form T-1', at Sotheby's, A Collection That We Dreamt Of: Art and Design from the New York Townhouse of Delphine and Reed Krakoff, 8 June 2022, New York, lot 88 (sold for 32,760 USD).

Paul Anbinder (b. 1940) is a retired editor who was a director at important publishers including Random House and Hudson Hills. Helen Anbinder (1942-2022) was an education administrator who ran the Inter-village Continuing Education Program for Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings, and Irvington, New York. The couple were avid museumgoers and collectors of art. They donated many books and prints from their collection to their alma mater Cornell University and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art.With a wood storage box (tomobako).The elephant and hoe depicted on the present suzuribako allude to the story of Shun the Great (Tai Shun), one of the Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety, and the last of the legendary Five Emperors of ancient China. Although terribly mistreated by his parents and half-brother, Shun's filial piety was such that he never bore a grudge. In one legend, as he labored at farm work, his noble character attracted elephants and birds to come and help him. The Emperor Yao, hearing of his virtue, chose Shun to succeed him.The elephant frequently appeared as the main subject in works by Ogawa Haritsu (Ritsuo, 1663-1747) and his followers. Although the elephant was not native to Japan, it was nevertheless known from an early date through paintings and sculptures as part of Buddhist iconography. The first living elephant to reach Japan was brought by Koreans in 1408, and again in 1597 and 1724 by Europeans. This last occasion was well documented and included the symbolic gift of a white elephant from the king of Siam to the Japanese emperor Nakamikado (r. 1710-35). This event, as well as the supply of another animal by the Dutch in 1813, not only made a lasting impression on the Japanese, but also did much to raise the profile of the elephant in public consciousness, resulting in an outpouring of paintings, woodblock prints and book illustrations on the subject.Auction comparison: Compare a lacquer four-case inro by Ogawa Haritsu depicting an elephant at Bonhams, The Edward Wrangham Collection of Japanese Art Part I, 9 November 2010, London, lot 209 (sold for 22,800 GBP).
