Gallery Labo has been connecting lovers of Japanese ceramics with superior works since 1988. Since November 2016, it has shared the remarkable works of its artists with an international audience.
“Labo” is the Japanese abbreviation of “laboratory,” and Gallery Labo is indeed a crucible for new possibilities in ceramic art. The gallery focuses exclusively on living artists in diverse genres. Rare among ceramics galleries, Gallery Labo secures the proactive participation of the artists in shaping its artistic policy, and it relies on input from the artists in in selecting works for introducing here and at the bricks-and-mortar gallery.
