Former of Unique Aesthetics, Kitaoji Rosanjin
―Accessions and Other Master Works Exhibited Together―
[Exhibition period has been extended] April 1 (Wed), 2020 – September 30 (Wed), 2020
As the Rosanjin collection, about 200 works were originally collected by Adachi Zenko (1899-1990), founder of the museum. After Zenko’s death, the current director Adachi Takanori (1947-) has enthusiastically collected Rosanjin works, taking over the founder’s vision. Today, the collection includes about 400 pieces.
This exhibition, celebrating the opening of Rosanjin Hall, a new facility to exclusively exhibit works by Rosanjin, will select 120 masterworks, including accessions from the collection that the museum is particularly proud of. We really hope you will fully take in his art in the exhibition space designed for the appreciation of Rosanjin’s works.
