PAST ASIA WEEK NEW YORK EXHIBITION

Landscape Escapes: Famous Views of the Floating World

March 13 – April 11, 2025
By appointment

We are excited to announce our new exhibition, opening Thursday March 13, as part of Asia Week New York!

Landscape Escapes includes numerous works by the 19th century masters of the landscape genre, including Katsushika Hokusai, and Utagawa Hiroshige, as well as rare contributions by artists who are not as closely associated with the subject such as Keisai Eisen, and Yashima Gakutei. The show will also explore some of the earliest forms of landscape prints by artists of the Katsukawa School, including Katsukawa Shunsho, and his followers, Katsukawa Shunsen (Shunko II) and Katsukawa Shuntei.

About the Gallery

Scholten Japanese Art is a private gallery specializing in Japanese woodblock prints and paintings. We offer ukiyo-e from the 18th to 20th centuries, including shin hanga, sosaku hanga, and Japanese-style woodblock prints produced by Western artists. Located in a spacious suite in the old Meurice Hotel, just steps from Central Park South, we enjoy meeting with visitors one on one in order to best learn about your interests and share the collection with you.

We opened its doors September 2000 in a renovated townhouse on New York’s Upper East Side. In May of 2003, Scholten moved to a private suite in the old Meurice Hotel located on 58th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. We initially planned to stay in midtown temporarily, however, we were pleasantly surprised to find the central location in the heart of Manhattan offers advantages in accessibility for both local collectors (who frequently have business in the area) and proximity to numerous hotels for out-of-town visitors. In 2009 we decided to expand to a larger space in the same building which was renovated to provide more exhibition space as well as a separate ‘Print Room’ devoted to our library and large inventory of woodblock prints. We organize at least two public exhibitions every year during Asia Week (both March and September), but we always have a selection of prints and paintings on view throughout the year.
