Place and Piece: Where was this work displayed, who loved it, and why is it here now?

27 July [Sat] - 14 October [Mon], 2024

Today the works of art neatly displayed in a museum’s gallery are public objects that anyone may enjoy seeing. Looking back to when those works were created, however, we realize that they were made as furnishings for a residence or painted to decorate a private room: they came about through a relationship with the person who owned them. Moreover, over time, they passed into other persons’ hands or were inherited by later generations. This exhibition presents a variety of works from the Ishibashi Foundation Museum from many times and places—ancient and modern, East and West—to explore the situations under which works of art were created and how they were treated and passed on. Visitors will have the opportunity to imagine and experience those many contexts.
