Making It Modern: European Ceramics from the Martin Eidelberg Collection

Art historian Martin Eidelberg has bequeathed a treasure that challenges our perspective on earthenware. Since the late 19th century, a handful of visionary creators shattered the codes of European ceramics to invent the language of modernity. This exceptional selection traces the abandonment of traditional forms in favor of revolutionary chromatic and textural experiments. From renowned factories to independent designers, each piece tells the story of an innovation quest where enamel transforms into vibrant surfaces. This ensemble testifies to a pivotal period where decorative art became a true laboratory of pure forms. To be admired in New York from June 16, 2025 to June 14, 2026, this itinerary offers a striking panorama of the know-how that shaped the aesthetics of the 20th century.
