EXHIBITIONS UNDER DEVELOPMENT



Civil War Redux: Pinhole Photographs by Willie Anne Wright
Willie Anne Wright, a photographer living and working in Richmond, uses pinhole photography (camera obscura) to create pictures that aptly recall the past. The exhibition draws upon one of her most interesting subjects of Civil War re-enactments, in which Willie Anne accurately captures the sentiment of that era. Willie Anne, through her work with the non-traditional medium of pinhole photography, affords a remarkable viewpoint of an important time in our history.

Traveling 2011-12
Number of Works: 30

Snow at Shirahige
Snow, Moon and Rain/Visions of Japan—Landscapes by Kawase Hasui
The recent gift of 327 woodblock prints by the Japanese master print-maker Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) offers an opportunity to generate two related exhibitions for travel. The rarest group of pre-1923 Tokyo earthquake prints (which destroyed Hasui’s blocks) will be subject of an exhibition at VMFA in 2011. Two smaller thematic groupings of later prints will travel simultaneously, showcasing the finest collection of the artist’s work in the USA.
