To support the exhibition JapanAmerica: Points of Contact, 1876–1970, which explores the formation of the West’s conception of a Japanese aesthetic in the context of the “opening” of Japan by the United States in 1853 and the interest of Western artists and collectors in the art of Japan at this time. The exhibition includes works by both American and Japanese arts, and travels to the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, the Crocker Art Museum (Sacramento, California), and one or two venues to be determined. The exhibition includes an English-language catalogue.
