Sezon Museum of Modern Art is pleased to announce our upcoming exhibition “Collection 40.″ We will select 40 works from our collection, such as pieces by Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Man Ray, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Syusaku Arakawa, Natsuyuki Nakanishi, and Tadanori Yokoo.
Special Exhibition
“Isamu Wakabayashi – The Garden of the Museum of Modern Art, Seibu Takanawa, Karuizawa (now the Garden of Sezon Museum of Modern Art)”
Isamu Wakabayashi (1936-2003) was a sculptor representing postwar Japan, known for making steel the medium in his works. Participating in the Venice Biennale twice (1980 and 1986), and exhibitions overseas such as the Kunsthalle Mannheim in Germany (1997), he garnered high praise. Wakabayashi’s creations were about how we humans are in a relationship with nature. Seeking a symbiosis of nature and humans, his garden productions tackled from the 1980s to his last years were a form of expression suitable of turning his thoughts into an artwork. For this exhibition, Wakabayashi’s thoughts in practice will be traced and presented by exhibiting his drawings created to design our garden “Garden of Karuzawa Takanawa Museum” (1982 – 1985), plus fine-art photography and models.
