Just Silence is a solo exhibition by ceramic artist Márta Jakobovits, in collaboration with Elizabeth Xi Bauer Gallery.
The exhibition presents a comprehensive survey of the work of Márta Jakobovits, offering a rare opportunity to engage with both her celebrated ceramic practice and a broader spectrum of her multidisciplinary oeuvre. Through an expansive selection of works, the exhibition foregrounds Jakobovits’s lifelong exploration of materiality, form, and spiritual inquiry.
