About the event
Sotheby’s presents Axel Salto: The Burning Now, a remarkable celebration of one of the most visionary ceramicists of the 20th century. On view from June 6–11, 2025 at Sotheby’s New York, this special exhibition honors Salto’s radical creativity across vases, tiles, bowls, lighting, and sculpture—each a living testament to nature's rhythm and unpredictability.
Recognized for his lavish glazes, mythic energy, and organic forms, Salto blurred the lines between philosophy, design, and fine art. His works—awash in Mussel Blue, Oxblood Red, and Solfatara Yellow—emerge like living entities, echoing the growth and movement of the natural world. From lush contours to dripping textures, every piece commands attention and introspection.
For collectors and connoisseurs alike, this curated selection offers a rare opportunity to encounter Salto’s spirit and craftsmanship up close.
