Takaezu Sculpture Graces Terrace  For decades, the Hunterdon Art Museum was graced by the talents and energy of Toshiko Takaezu, who played a vital role in the Museum's growth and passion for contemporary art.
Now the Museum is graced by the presence of her sculpture, Three Graces in the garden of the soon-to-be christened Toshiko Takaezu Terrace, named to honor the internationally renowned artist whose work elevated ceramics from functional craft to fine art. Toshiko created a series of Three Graces as she sought to experiment in her expanded studio space with bigger kilns to create works on a larger scale. The Three Graces—representing love, beauty and wisdom—are large cylindrical cast-bronze pieces that undulate from their base. To read more, please visit our Hunterdon Art Museum blog!
