This exhibition in Tokyo is an international collaboration between the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Bogotá, Colombia and the University Museum, the University of Tokyo (UMUT) realized through the Mobilemuseum project, as part of the tenth-anniversary celebration of Intermediatheque.
As a Colombian version of the “Orchids Blossom” exhibition series, which focuses on the natural history of orchids, this exhibition introduces a selection of botanical arts made in Colombia from the late 18th to the early 19th century by the botanist Mutis, who led a botanical expedition in Colombia, including that of Cattleya Trianae, the current national flower of Colombia, and other orchids that have been rarely introduced in Japan. Also on display will be color woodblock prints of Japanese paintings depicting Colombian and other Latin American orchids from A Record of an Orchid Collection, picture prints of foreign orchids cultivated in Kyoto by businessman Kaga Shōtarō, in the first half of the 20th century. The newly acquired collection of UMUT, A Record of an Orchid Collection will be changed periodically during the exhibition period to showcase the diversity of Cattleya Trianae and other Colombian cattleyas and their artificial hybrids.
