About this Item

21 x 27cm 176pp near fine exhibition catalogue with colour reproductions with Japanese and English text. The Yamamura Collection is made up of avant-garde works of art from postwar Japan collected by Yamamura Tokutaro (1926-1986), an entrepreneur who lived in Nishinomiya, Hyogo. After his death, the 167 pieces by 68 artists were collectively obtained by the then Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Modern Art , and those works constitute an essential part of the contemporary art collection of today s Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art. The collection, built up with a view to creating public goods for the future, boasts both a quality and quantity that are unusual for a private collection. As such, there have been few opportunities to showcase the whole collection at one place, although individual works have often been on display in our museum as well as in other institutions in and out of Japan. Comes with a loosely inserted Private View card. Seller Inventory # 27575
