Work in Progress / Kaendler-Pschorn-Vase / 2017
"Rarely ever do history and modernity meet in such a real and direct way as in the Kaendler-Pschorn vase, which has been part of the permanent collection at the GRASSI Museum of Applied Arts since the beginning of December 2017. Director Dr. Olaf Thormann initiated this exciting encounter between the currently so celebrated young ceramic artist Sarah Pschorn and the work of the great Johann Joachim Kaendler from Meissen, the brilliant creator of the European porcelain figurine in the 18th century." ...
