Collection 1: Portraits of Her

 

This exhibition focuses on works from the museum collection that feature female figures and are arranged in thematic sections. Here, we consider what contemporary artists entrust to portraits of women as individuals with personalities and backgrounds, rather than simply being encoded images, and what kind of social, historical, and relational aspects they express in their works.

Also included are works that were newly acquired in the last fiscal year such as an installation by Leonor Antunes that was inspired by the activities of the female designers Michiko Yamawaki and Charlotte Perriand.
