Our original booth, designed by Digifabshop, will include a gigantic spider like structure encasing the sculptures and ceramics on view, creating a one of a kind exhibition experience. The show will feature a combination of important late 19th and early 20th century European art pottery, as well as a selection of stoneware sculptures by contemporary American ceramist Eric Serritella. The outstanding artists represented in the exhibition share a common interest in creating works that draw inspiration from the natural world as well as organic forms and materials. The pieces on display represent remarkable achievements in both style and technique, exemplified by masterful uses of glaze and unmatched attention to detail.

Specializing in hand carved, trompe l oeil vessels that take the shape of birch and weathered logs, this is Eric Serritella's first major exhibition since His work

3 was specifically commissionned for Frieze. Serritella s work has been exhibited internationally and is held in prestigious museum collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Georges Hoesntschel designed the widely acclaimed decorative arts pavilion for France at the Paris World Fair in Carriès, Grittel, Jeanneney, and Perrot, all of whom worked on stoneware, drew inspiration from East Asian pottery and

4 incorporated a wide range of lively figurative elements to their creations. The work of these highly regarded and important ceramists not only formed the basis of Hoentschel's collection, it also participated in launching the modern ceramics collections of the Musée d'orsay, the Petit Palais, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The decorative arts collection of Georges Hoentschel was purchased by J. P. Morgan, then donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, thus inaugurating their European Decorative Arts department. As a pioneer in the field in the United States, Jason Jacques Gallery is honored to be able to present historical masterpieces at Frieze this year.

5 Jean Carriès, Sandstone Vase, c.1900, Stoneware, 6h x 3.25w x 3.25d in Jean Carriès Jean Carriès ( ) was a French sculptor and ceramist, best known for the inventive and technically advanced

6 Japoniste stoneware that he produced in Saint Amand en Puisaye in the 1880s and the early 1890s. Carriès' distinguished style and impeccable skill set established his ceramic legacy, which was carried on by members of the eponymous École de Carriès: George Hoentschel, Paul Jeanneney, Émile Grittel, Théo Perrot, among others.

7 Paul Jeanneney, Untitled, Stoneware, c , 14h x 13w x 12d in Paul Jeanneney Paul Jeanneney was a French ceramist, whose strong background in mineralogy and chemistry helped him create singular palettes of color and textures. East Asian influences, organic motifs, sculptural form, and avant garde shapes that foreshadow the 1950s design renaissance remain some of the most distinctive characteristics of his work as a ceramist.

8 Èmile Grittel, A Pear, C , Stoneware, Gold Lacquer, 6.75h x 3.75w in Émile Grittel Èmile Grittel was a French scuptor and ceramist. He started his career as a pupil to Jean Carriès, prior to showing his work

9 under his own name after His work became more personal and remained true to the Japanese influences that had permeated Carriès' work. He soon became a leading figure in the field of art pottery and showed his work at major art exhibitions in France.

10 Rick Owens, a celebrated American fashion designer, is best known for the iconic, eponymous clothing label he started in Los Angeles in Both in fashion and furniture design, Owens has consistently drawn inspiration from a vast array of art historical sources that span modernist design, brutalist architecture, monochrome painting, minimal art, and avant garde dance. Owens also finds influences in nature, creating simple, organic shapes, and using unorthodox materials like bone, petrified wood, and, as seen here, camel skin.
