This event has ended.
This marks the first large-scale solo exhibition that the preeminent Japanese contemporary artist Yasumasa Morimura (b. 1951) has ever held at a museum in his hometown of Osaka. Since showing “Portrait (Van Gogh)” in 1985, Morimura has focused on making photographic works in which he dresses up as protagonists from masterpieces and other notable figures. The exhibition will consist of approximately 130 items, including 30 new works (a full-length video piece with a running time of over 60 minutes among them), never-before-shown works, and important works from the past.
