JAPANESE ART FROM THE GUIGNARD KYOTO COLLECTION IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS

Scroll paintings and other Japanese works of art from the GUIGNARD KYOTO COLLECTION are already in many private collections in Europe. One of the richest is the collection of Prof. Dr. Walter Gebhard from Bayreuth, who died five years ago. This collector bought several scroll paintings from GUIGNARD over many years. After his death, the renowned "Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe" in Hamburg, which has owned the most important collection of Japanese art in Europe for over 100 years, acquired the entire art collection of around 500 objects. From October 10, 2023 to April 28, 2024, selected pictures from this collection were shown in the museum - two pictures from the GUIGNARD KYOTO COLLECTION were included by the museum in this selection: the
Dancers by Suzuki Kiitsu and the cormorant by Kishi Koma - the image of the dancers even decorated the representative poster of the entire exhibition.
