About the Exhibition

Known internationally as a great innovator of modern ceramics, Carlo Zauli (1926-2002) was an Italian master ceramic artist who had considerable influence also on Japanese counterparts. This is the first retrospective exhibition after his death, planned as part of international exchange with Faenza, the city where Zauli was active as a ceramic artist. While thoroughly exploring the possibilities of clay in his dynamic ceramic sculptures, Zauli also displayed unusual talent in his subtle, elaborate architectural façades and tile designs. This show traces his forty-year career after 1951.
