Vintage Kazu Yoneda (1949-) Japanese Ceramic Tray Painted Blue, Black and Gold

About the Item

Kazu Yoneda (1949-), Japanese. A ceramic tray, signed and labeled on underside. The tray has a gently curved, wave-like form, which gives it a natural, fluid appearance. The upper surface of the dish is decorated with a beautiful abstract design featuring brushstrokes in shades of blue, black, and golden yellow on a neutral background. The brushwork suggests movement, perhaps reminiscent of wind or flowing water. The glaze on the front of the dish has a smooth, semi-gloss finish, showcasing Yoneda’s skill in combining both form and decoration in his ceramics. The back of the dish is unglazed and shows a warm, red-brown clay body, with visible marks and texture. This dish could serve multiple purposes, including as a serving platter, display piece, or purely decorative object. Dimensions: 14"l x 4.5"w x 1.75"h Condition: Good/Fair, 0.5" edge chip to tray (see photographs). This small area of damage could be repaired using the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. The artform is called kintsugi, which translates to "join with gold" Provenance: The Collection of visual artist Lewis Stein, NYC Literature: Artist Lewis Stein (1945-2022) was an original SOHO pioneer working and collecting from his Broome Street loft over a five decade career. Inspired by artists like Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol, he started taking common household objects, like cleavers and hammers, and painting them in bright garish colors. In the late 1960s, he met dealer Dick Bellamy, who introduced his work to the gallerists who gave him his first exposure, including David Whitney in New York, Nicholas Wilder in Los Angeles, and Rolf Ricke in Cologne. A practitioner of Zen Buddhism, Stein made his first of many trips to mainland China in 1975, where he discovered and made an aesthetic connection to traditional Chinese Arts. Over the decades Stein amassed a formidable collection of Asian artifacts and a reputation for scholarly connoisseurship.
