Artist Dahye Jeong wins this year’s Loewe Foundation Craft Prize, which was unveiled at the Seoul Museum of Craft Art in South Korea.
has just arrived in the city and is holding court in the library of the newly opened Seoul Museum of Craft Art , the first dedicated to preserving Korean craftworks and the site of this year’s prize and exhibition. “From being at Loewe, it’s something I’m most proud of,” he adds. Just across the corridor, 30 exquisite pieces have been arranged in a neat loop.
Not that Anderson is surprised. “I’ve always loved Korea, and each year we have a lot of finalists from Korea,” he says. “What’s amazing is the protection of craft here and the level is so high. I want to hold [the Prize] in countries that appreciate craft on a level that is seen as an art form and not just a craft form.” Anderson and the jury seemed particularly pleased to appoint Dahye Jeong as this year’s winner. “It is just so magical,” he says of her work.
For the first time since the pandemic, guests had flown in from Finland, from Spain, from New York, to participate in the Prize, including contemporary jewelry maker Julia Obermaier from Germany and stoneware and ceramics artist Andile Dyalvane from South Africa, who received special mentions. Among them was Kyoto-based artist Genta Ishizuka, the 2019 prize winner, whose organic lacquerware sculptures were beautifully reimagined as gold bangles and minaudière for Loewe’s fall 2022 show.
The Loewe Foundation Craft Prize 2022 exhibition will be on view at the Seoul Museum of Craft Art from July 1 through July 30, 2022.
