Surrealism － Paintings, Sculptures and Photographs［Photography Gallery］Ishiuchi Miyako’s Yokosuka Story

In 1983, prior to the opening of the Yokohama Museum ofArt, the facility began collecting Surrealist art works. Made up of multiple
pieces by central Surrealist figures such as René Magritte, Paul Delvaux,Salvador Dalí, Man Ray, Max Ernst, Hans (Jean) Arp, Joan Miró, andAndré Masson, the collection conveys the artists’ diverse range ofactivities, and their efforts to forge into many different genres, including
not only oil painting but also collage, sculpture, printmaking, andphotography.
The works also represent the expansive view of Surrealism,
which transcended national and ethnic boundaries by encompassing
artists from all over the world such as Roberto Matta (Chile), ÓscarDomínguez (Canary Islands), Wilfredo Lam (Cuba), and John Armstrong(U.K.). In addition, the collection contains a rich array of photographs bySalvador DALÍGeodesical Portrait of Gala

Man Ray, Hans Bellmer, Jindřich Štyrský, Wols, and others.
In this edition of the collection exhibition, making full use of
three galleries, viewers will be treated to a virtually complete group of
Surrealist works from the museum’s holdings – the first time such an
exhibition has ever been attempted at the museum.
In conjunction with the Ishiuchi Miyako: Grain and Image
exhibition, we also present Ishiuchi’s Yokosuka Story and other works by
the artist from the museum collection in the Photography Gallery.
