Maria van Kesteren

For over fourty years, Maria van Kesteren has been a wood turner. Always using the circular form as a starting point she utilises the tension between inner and outer forms. She applies similar principles in style to her glass and ceramic objects. Even though her objects appear severe, when carefully examining the subtle curves and transitions one will no doubt be fascinated by the unquestionably tender side of her work. In 1994 Maria van Kesteren received the Kho Liang Ie Price for Design. Her works can be found in domestic and foreign private and museum collections like those of the Boymans-van Beuningen Museum Rotterdam, the Centraal Museum Utrecht and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

Maria van Kesteren exhibited at the Garth Clark Gallery in New York and Los Angeles. Her work can be found in the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York.
