Linda Sormin

Permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Art, Boston

We are excited to share that the work of Linda Sormin has been acquired into the permanent collection of the MFA Boston. The ceramic and misedf-media sculpture entitoled Naga Padoha was included in the site-specific installation as part of “Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence", a major exhibition which took place at the museum in 2023 and has now toured to the Seattle Art Museum. 

 

Curator Kendall DeBoer has describes the piece as a "fabulous, resolved, stand-alone sculpture—with gorgeous, oceanic teal-blue and fiery, burnt-red glazes, helping to tell the story of the dragon for which the work is named." 

 

Congratulations to the Linda Sormin, and to Kendall DeBoer for the memorable exhibition which featured this piece, and forged exciting discourse on the iconic work and legacy of Hokusai.
