Celebrating Asian Art

Post War and Contemporary Japanese Art

September 14 – 22, 2023
Open Monday-Saturday during Asia Week 

For Asia Week Autumn 2023, we will feature the great avant-garde masters Shiryū Morita (1912-1998) and Yuichi Inoue (1916-1985), in Post War and Contemporary Japanese Art. These two artists’ work straddle East and West, combining dramatic, performative gesture and near-abstraction with the rich lexical and graphic heritage of the Chinese script. Morita’s Ryu, through abstraction and movement, has virtually assumed the physical shape of a dragon. Alongside calligraphy by these masters, works by the painter Minol Araki, the premier paper artist Kyoko Ibe and by the renowned ceramic artist Sueharu Fukami will be shown.
