The Etsuko and Joe Price Collection in California, U.S.A. is world-renowned for its marvelous collection of Japanese paintings of the Edo period (17th-19th century). The works of the unique artists of the Edo period caught Joe Price’s eye five decades ago, when they were overlooked even in the field of art history, and thus he started his collection. As suggested by the fact that his foundation, “Shin’enKan,” borrows one of Ito Jakuchu’s studio names, the Price Collection is centered on Jakuchu, who has been attracting much attention in recent years. The collection also features Kansai-region artists such as Maruyama Okyo, Nagasawa Rosetsu, and Mori Sosen, artists of the Edo Rimpa school such as Sakai Hoitsu and Suzuki Kiitsu, hand-painted ukiyo-e, and other masterpieces of a genre that has grown to receive a great deal of interest in recent years.
This exhibition consists of 109 works specially selected from the six hundred paintings of the Price Collection. Eight of these works will be shown in a special room in the fourth-floor Collection Gallery as part of an educational program entitled “Educational Gallery: Oni and Edo-period Animals.” Also, on the first floor, there will be a room with natural lighting in which a new side of imaginative Edo-period paintings can be enjoyed in a setting modelled after traditional Japanese rooms.
* The works on display will be rotated halfway through the exhibition. Part I: 9/23-10/15; Part II: 10/17-11/5. Please refer to the list below for details.
