The Saint Louis Art Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago have united to present an exhibition that showcases a selection of the finest examples of Japanese folding screens in their collections.
The exhibition is named 'Five Centuries of Japanese Screens' and will be on view from October 18, 2009 to January 3, 2010, at Main Exhibition Galleries.
This show will be the first major exhibition to feature traditional Japanese screens on paper or silk along with modern and contemporary examples in less orthodox media such as lacquer and ceramic. The exhibition offers a rare and welcome chance for museum visitors to see numerous impressive works together and experience the collective impact of these large-scale works.
Curated in St. Louis by Philip Hu, associate curator of Asian art, Five Centuries of Japanese Screens: Masterpieces from the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago will be on view in the Museum's Main Exhibition Galleries. -- www.stlouis.art.museum
