Vessel: Vessel — Red Centre by Johannes Kuhnen. Titanium, anodised aluminium, Monel and stainless steel. 2022.41 x 48 x 22 cmUnique piece . This striking, large metal vessel combines an anodised aluminium baseplate with titanium buttress blades at near-random angles, supporting thin titanium walls. The interior is rendered in luminous pink, and the angularity of the work leads the vessel walls to change in colour — inspired by the changing colour of the surface of Uluru rock in central Australia at different points in the day..

Intro
LOEWE FOUNDATION is pleased to announce the names of the 30 shortlisted artists for the 2023 edition of the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize. Each finalist’s work will be exhibited in Isamu Noguchi’s Studio at The Noguchi Museum in New York from 17 May until 18 June 2023.

The sixth edition of the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize presents a selection of works that explore meditative, time-intensive techniques and skilful manipulation of materials. Unexpected forms and colours also feature in this year’s shortlist, introducing a sense of playfulness and surprise. The use of trompe l’oeil techniques in many of the works further confounds viewers’ expectations at first look they appear to be made from one material and on closer inspection are revealed to be another entirely. Many of the works presented in this year’s shortlist also examine the relationship between light, material and surface, with an expert handling of materials and form used to transform the reflective properties of the works and to create a sense of movement.
