The magnificence of Japanese Art, brought to you by Marion Oliviero
People often own an object that can be a treasure for someone else — connecting the two is very exciting.
Marion first set foot in Asia on a high school trip to China. Mesmerized by the experience, she spent the following months learning the language and studying the country through books and museums. Next, she visited Japan, where she fell in love with their graceful way of embracing modernity while honouring tradition. Once she obtained her Master’s degree in Chinese Archaeology, Marion serendipitously met two Asian art experts and enrolled in a five month internship with them. She quickly realised, after being in close contact with precious objects and exchanging knowledge with like-minded people on a daily basis, that she had found her passion. At Catawiki, Marion specialises in Japanese Art. She loves not knowing what she’ll be working on tomorrow; to open her mailbox and see what remarkable objects await. One of her career highlights came in the form of a cloisonné enamel bowl that Hattori Tadasaburō made for the Japanese Imperial house. Every day is a surprise.
