Description
Illuminating the history of collecting Japanese art This richly illustrated volume addresses the history of collectingJapanese art and the factors that contributed to the growth of collections in
North America following the Meiji Restoration in 1868. With wide-ranging essays
that fill in gaps in the scholarly investigation of the subject, art historians
discuss the historical development of the Japanese aesthetic and examine
questions of connoisseurship, authenticity, and controversial collectors and
their current-day reception.
The volume also features case
studies on the formation of Japanese art collections in North America, exploring
the diverse array of factors that contributed to their quality, contents, and
the role that these collections play for their respective communities.
Contributors delve into university and museum archives and interview art
dealers, collectors, and artists to better understand their own collections.
They present original research on cross-pollination and dialogue between
artists from Japan and the United States, the development and growth of
museums, and the personal histories of the people who shaped art collections.
Together, these essays illustrate the shifting priorities in the collection of Japanese art across 150 years.
