Exhibition: "The Wall and I" Paintings by MIYATAKE Kikue
Venue: JDZB
Opening: October 4, 2010, 7 pm
When MIYTAKE Kikue was studying in the USA in 1990 she was invited to paint on the Berlin East Side Gallery of the Berlin Wall as part of the celebrations of German Reunification; she was the only artist from Japan. Her early works were realistic, but over the course of time and with various influences from the USA her style became increasingly abstract. As part of the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of German Reunification and the 25th anniversary of the JDZB, this exhibition will present her latest works.
