Dallas Museum of Art Acquires Tanaka Yu’s “Tsutsumimono”
New to the Dallas Museum of Art collection, Tsutsumimono (“Wrapped Item”) by Tanaka Yū carries a deep history of the art of Japanese wrapping and connects viewers to its contemporary traditions. This ceramic glazed stoneware, measuring 24 3/8 x 18 1/2 x 19 inches, commands attention through Tanaka’s bold use of color. The work exudes a tangible presence, enhanced by the interplay of color and size. It contrasts weights — where a seemingly concealed object anchors against the light, fluid, and malleable imitation of fabric. The idea of fabric is communicated through the undulating forms that appear to ripple, roll, and curve, falling into the object, all working to conceal its form and essence from the viewer. The consistency of the clay further emphasizes the textile-like quality in its uniformity and texture. The sculpture captivates its audience as they navigate the work, allowing their imaginations to grapple with and attempt to unravel its mysterious nature.
