About

The works of Lucie Rie (1902–1995), a leading twentieth-century ceramic artist active in London, continue to fascinate many people with their graceful shapes and colors. Centered on the Iuchi collection deposited at our museum, this exhibition will unravel the source of her artistic appeal by examining the people, things, and places she encountered, as well as the historical background. We hope visitors enjoy her world of formative art that transcends East and West.
