New Treasures of the Museum Collection II: Sculptures of Recent Acquisition
About the Exhibition
This is the second exhibition in the “New Treasures of the Museum Collection” series, which introduces newly acquired works. Following “New Treasures of the Museum Collection I” (2024, Kamakura Annex), which showcased paintings acquired by the Museum from fiscal years 2015 to 2019, this exhibition will feature sculptures and three-dimensional artworks acquired between fiscal years 2020 and 2024, focusing on pieces that will be displayed publicly for the first time since their acquisition. The exhibition includes works such as Sumi Wakiro’s EVIDENCE, which was donated after being exhibited in his solo exhibition held at The Museum of Modern Art, Kamakura, and Kurokawa Hirotake’s Spartoi No. 20, transferred from Kanagawa Kenmin Hall. All works featured in this exhibition were donated to or transferred into the Museum’s collection through generous contributions from the artists and related parties. This exhibition is intended to honor and preserve these “treasures” for future generations.
