Abstract

The article focuses on the exhibition "Making It Modern: European Ceramics from the Martin Eidelberg Collection" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcasing eighty works of European ceramic art from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Curated by Sarah E. Lawrence and Jeffrey Munger, the exhibition highlights the emergence of art nouveau and the influence of Asian ceramics, particularly Japanese styles, on European designs. It emphasizes individual artistic expression and innovative glazing techniques, such as flammé glazes, while featuring notable artists and factories that contributed to the evolution of modern ceramics. The exhibition is open until January 4, 2026. [Extracted from the article]
