Why not live for Art? II - 9 collectors reveal their treasures

Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery
Finished

Artists

Koide Naoki, Lyota Yagi, Eiko Hosoe, Yasuyuki Nishio et al.
In 2004, when private collections were becoming popular, Why not live for Art? explored this trend by presenting private collections gathered by nine individual collectors, discovering new forms that collections were taking, revealing what sort of people the collectors were, and demonstrating the attraction of art that emerges through the act of collecting. Less than ten years have passed since that exhibition, but this period has seen the launch of a magazine for collectors, active networking between collectors, as well as the increase in private individuals acquiring and collecting art. In this second exhibition, the focus shifts to a new generation of collectors, examining the art scene in Japan and internationally today, and considering its prospects for the future. Including unique works by popular artists, as well as that of internationally emerging artists, this exhibition is an opportunity to view works rarely open to public.
