    STEPS AHEAD: Recent Acquisitions

    13 February [Sat] - 5 September [Sun], 2021

    About this exhibition

    STEPS AHEAD introduces the Artizon Museum’s latest additions to the collection. In recent years, the Ishibashi Foundation has worked to develop its core collection of Impressionist and modern Japanese paintings more fully while expanding the collection’s breadth to include works from the early twentieth century to contemporary art especially Abstract paintings, and early modern Japanese art. Since opening, we have been gradually introducing our new acquisitions, but others remain yet to be displayed: works by the Cubist painters, drawings by Henri Matisse, From or by Marcel Duchamp or Rrose Sélavy [Box in a Valise] by Marcel Duchamp, women of Abstract Expressionism, Takiguchi Shuzo and Experimental Workshop, contemporary Australian paintings, and much more. This exhibition of 193 works, including 90 new acquisitions being exhibited for the first time, and 87 works from the collection of portrait photographs of artists provides a view of the Artizon Museum’s continuing progress in expanding the horizons of its collection.

    Artizon Museum Book Collection Exhibit: From Albert Gleizes’s Paintings and Its Laws to Illustrated Books (Info Room, 4F)
    In 2015, the Artizon Museum acquired Woman with a Glove by Albert Gleizes (1881-1953), a French artist who was one of the most important Cubists. That painting is being shown for the first time in the Steps Ahead exhibition, Section 2, Cubism (6F). Produced in about 1922, Woman with a Glove is a puzzling picture in which a human being is represented as a combination of geometrical forms. What was Gleizes’s intention in painting it? This exhibit introduces materials from the museum’s rare books collection that touch on aspects of his thinking.
