Lecture: Contemporary Prints: A Gift to Los Angeles
Hollis Goodall (Associate Curator of Japanese Art, Los Angeles County Museum)
403 Kent Hall, Columbia University (116th St. and Amsterdam Ave.)
6:00 PM – 7:30 PM

In 2003, Los Angeles County Museum of Art Associate Curator for Japanese Art, Hollis Goodall, was invited to participate in judging the 48th annual College Women’s Association of Japan print exhibition to be held that year. The curator of the print show, Mary Way, and the Association President, Marilyn Gosling, arranged for a gift of the show’s contents to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, one of the main venues on the West Coast for modern Japanese prints. Hollis Goodall speaks about trends in contemporary Japanese prints, based on this overview of 138 prints given to the museum. A number of the artists responded to surveys sent out by Goodall, and their answers lend insight to our understanding of the art form in the present day.
