Special Exhibitions and Events#6019：Japanese Abstraction Paintings
The golden era of abstract painting is in the 1960's and 1970's. In the 1980's, representational
painting made a comeback in the art world, also termed as New Painting. In recent years,
subcultures such as animation and comics have gathered attention from all over the world. Inview of this context, what kind of potential do abstract painting have today?
In the pursuit of “new theories in abstract painting,” we will be showing abstract paintings ofcontemporary Japanese artists, examining abstract qualities in both representational paintings
and art installations.
