Part of the series, Singular Collections Brought to Light: Shuttered Japanese Art Exhibitions at Academic Museums
Recorded June 18, 2020
We are delighted to announce a new series this summer focusing on important university exhibitions of Japanese art in galleries that are temporarily darkened. For the first installment, Joan B Mirviss LTD is honored to partner with the Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College to present a Zoom talk on Japanese woodblock prints and the art of collecting. You will be treated to an insider's view of the highly important exhibition, "Ukiyo-e Prints from the Mary Ainsworth Collection" that has just returned from a tour of Japan. Currently installed in the temporarily closed museum, our distinguished panel will explore the unique history and strengths of this collection as well as reveal highlights in this important academic museum.
