Gerber and Sueann E. Sherry at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, California (May 28, 2017-February 4, 2018). This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art"--Colophon "Unless otherwise noted, works are gifts or promised gifts to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from the Japanese Cloisonné Enamels Collection of Donald K. Gerber and Sueann E. Sherry"--P. 135 Summary:  "One of the world's leading collections of Japanese cloisonne is the subject of this beautifully designed book, which celebrates a painstaking process that results in unbelievably intricate, delicate, and breathtaking works of art. As the movement spread throughout the world, Japan began producing cloisonne in the mid-19th century. Japanese studios turned out exquisite examples of the form, many of which were displayed in numerous international expositions, including the Vienna Exhibition of 1873, where a Japanese cloisonne piece won first prize. The Gerber/Sherry collection is unparalleled in its variety and excellence. Along with exquisitely reproduced illustrations, this book includes a brief historical overview focusing on the work of Namikawa Yasuyuki; an examination of the role the Japanese government played in promoting cloisonne; and the collector's own story of discovering, falling in love with, and procuring these precious works of art." -- Provided by publisher Bibliography Note:  Includes bibliographical references Subject:  Gerber, Donald Keith -- Art collections -- Exhibitions Sherry, Sueann E. -- Art collections -- Exhibitions Gerber, Donald Keith -- Art collections Sherry, Sueann E. -- Art collections Los Angeles County Museum of Art Los Angeles County Museum of Art Los Angeles County Museum of Art Bauhaus Dessau 1986-1994 Bereich Architektur und Sammlungen Chōsen Kōgei Kenkyūkai Cloisonné -- Japan -- Exhibitions Cloisonné -- Private collections -- United States -- Exhibitions ART -- Ceramics Cloisonne -- Japan -- Exhibitions Cloisonne -- Private collections -- United States -- Exhibitions ART -- Ceramics Art -- Private collections Cloisonné Cloisonné Japan Japan United States Genre:  Exhibition catalogs Exhibition catalogs Added Author:  Gerber, Donald Keith contributor Wilson, John R. contributor Los Angeles County Museum of Art Added Title:  Japanese cloisonné from the collection of Donald K.
