Scholten Japanese Art is excited to present an exclusive evening viewing of their captivating winter exhibition, Creative Connections: Sosaku Hanga Artists in New York. This special event will include an informal gallery talk by Anju Uchima, son of Ansei and Toshiko Uchima, two artists featured in the exhibition who were pivotal members of the sosaku hanga movement.
After launching their artistic careers in Japan, Ansei and Toshiko Uchima settled in New York with their young son in 1960. Together, they became important liaisons between the Japanese and American print communities, hosting visitors to the city and providing valuable assistance to many of the other artists in this exhibition by introducing them to American contacts and helping them exhibit their work.
Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to explore these historically significant prints and deepen your understanding of their creation.
Space is limited, so RSVP to attend: admin@scholten-
