'Yoichi Umetsu: Crystal palace'
The special exhibition ‘Yoichi Umetsu: Crystal Palace’ has finally opened at the National Museum of Art, Osaka.
The exhibition welcomed many visitors on its first day.
The 600 works on display are astonishing, but the exhibition space, which was created over a period of two weeks, is so spectacular that it could also be described as a work of art. This exhibition includes paintings, drawings, videos, ceramics, prints and other works from the early stages of Umetsu’s career that are exhibiting for the first time, as well as his latest works, including ‘Pollen Strainer’ and ‘Palm Tree’, which were completed in Marubai's kiln during the exhibition period.
A limited number of invitation tickets have been requested and will be sent out as soon as they are received.
We hope you will take this rare opportunity to visit the exhibition.
