Ongoing Exhibitions

Tsuruya Kōkei: Kabuki Prints Revised & Revisited

The exhibition presents all of Tsuruya Kōkei’s kabuki actor prints from 1983 to 1993. Because the artist limited his editions, such a complete collection is unprecedented and represents a first in Texas. To explore the broader contours of kabuki actor prints, Kōkei’s work is contextualized by actor prints by Sharaku, as well as two dozen additional works by contemporary Japanese and western artists.

Form is Emptiness, Empitness is Form: Works by Miya Ando [NEW]

Drawing on the important Buddhist text known as the Heart Sutra, artist Miya Ando makes her Asia Society debut responding to the Center’s unique building with references to elemental materials such as metal, light, water, and wood. This site-specific response to Yoshio Taniguchi’s architecture reframes the visitor's perception of the space, and invites contemplation of the nature of reality.
