Featuring origami and paper
works, steel sculpture, digital prints and mixed media by:
Evan Demas, Andrea Innocent,
Julie Goodwin, Julia St Mire, Kaori Katou, Krista Stewart and other
Kazari artists.
This show will reflect
approaches now taken by curators of international public
galleries such as the V&A and our own NGV, where works
reference each other regardless of when and where they were
created, negating the need the need for white cube space in which
to show contemporary art.

Japanese Art
in Australia - Buying Opportunity
This year,
the best value in Art in the Asia Pacific region was to be found in
Japan. Several new auction houses set up in Tokyo and Osaka while
Christie’s and Sotheby’s (Hong Kong) and buyers from Taipei and
Korea were routinely trailing local auction houses, galleries and
artist studios in search of new talent and works as new investors
began entering the market.
Except for a
few who may have invested in Chinese Contemporary Art, most
Japanese were shy of the recent highs in China, and until quite
recently hadn’t even invested in their own Art because of recent
memories of their own ‘bubble’ in the late 80’s. Space has also been a
factor contributing to buying patterns so the Japanese have
traditionally bought small art works for tea-ceremony, such as
ceramics, lacquer, scrolls and screens that could be rolled or
folded, rather than large works as in the west and so generally
small works are preferred.
It must be
recognized that Japanese Fine Art is arguably second to none in
quality and still available to buy in Japan, while in scare supply
elsewhere in Asia and Japanese Contemporary Art,
was quietly achieving ground taking off in the Art Market
while the worlds’ focus was on China.
When the AUD
dropped against the yen, a gain in value of about 30%, considerable
compared with other international markets and this, coupled with
more stringent requirements for exporting Japanese painting means
that opportunities exist now that may not be available in the
future so Japanese screens and art works C17th – C20th at Kazari
represents exceptional buying.
