2023 Collection Exhibition １
Special Section:New Collection Commemoration 2022

The Yokosuka Museum of Art holds four exhibitions each year of works from our collection. The works being shown in this exhibition include modern and contemporary Japanese art, together with works by artists with special connections to Yokosuka.

Nine works by six artists newly acquired in 2022 by our museum are on display.
In fiscal 2019, Yokosuka Museum of Art created the “Art Acquisition Fund” to enhance our collection. In fiscal year 2021, we utilized this fund for the first time to purchase Garden in Autumn (1900) by YAZAKI Chiyoji (1872–1947), a painter from Yokosuka.
Our museum was able to purchase two works in fiscal 2022: Mother III (2017) by NAGASAWA Akira and field of water #19051 (2019) by AMANO Junji. In addition, we received gifts of seven works, mostly by contemporary artists. The new acquisitions have added further depth to our collection, especially to its contemporary portion.
Lastly, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the donators for their generous support, and to the artists and all the people concerned for their invaluable gifts.
We would deeply appreciate your continued support in enhancing our collection.
