Ippodo Gallery New York

Ippodo Gallery New York Japanese Contemporary Arts & Crafts
Open by appointment Since 2013, we have relocated to the Upper East Side and have consolidated a new business structure.

Since opening in Tokyo in 1996, Ippodo Gallery has consistently introduced outstanding works of contemporary Japanese art-crafts. With the opening of its first overseas gallery in Chelsea, New York in 2008, Ippodo Gallery New York has held 7 to 8 exhibitions and events per year, to promote works that capture the imagination of people worldwide. Through our endeavors, a large number of pieces by ou

r artists have found new homes throughout the world. With an unwavering commitment to bringing the highest quality works directly from their Japanese sources, we plan to showcase these on a global-scale. Ceramics, lacquerware, bamboo craft, textiles, woodwork, metalwork, stone sculpture, furniture, kimono, glass, dolls, paintings, photographs — selecting works by Japanese artists from a wide range of fields, the gallery presents collections of top quality works. In addition, the gallery collaborates with craftspeople to give birth to new traditions, sharing the very best of Japanese culture with the world.

We are shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that took place on the July 8th.

At a moment when there is so much chaos in the world people need each other's support more than ever, and I sincerely lament the fearful and malignant foolishnesses of those who choose to injure others with (superstition and) physical violence.

Our condolences go out to the Abe family, to the people of Japan, and to others standing strong in these difficult times.

Where will the hearts of our people go? We so hope and pray that they will be guided toward gratitude, kindness, and light.

‘Through Her Eyes: In Memory of Laura de Santillana’ has opened.

Through her eyes, we not only see color but we feel the weight of it. Laura de Santillana’s pieces allow color to float, to sink, to shift and diffuse through the air. We see the fluidity of glass and watch as it folds in on itself, is compressed, and fused with iridescent silver. Laura de Santillana’s pieces are as dynamic and ever changing as the natural light that flows through them. To look at her work, is to look through her eyes and be a witness to transformative beauty.

Dedicated to the late artist and friend Laura de Santillana, In Her Eyes: In Memory of Laura de Santillana is an exhibition that remembers her legacy, fine craft, and most importantly, her person. We draw upon memories of her love, kindness, and care to illustrate and share the depth of her warmth, her gentle presence, and her passionate, radiant soul.
