The Provenance Research Department is excited to present Looking Out, Looking In: Legacies of the Masuda Collection.
Provenance Research Fellow Mac Coyle will highlight works at the Denver Art Museum from the collection of Baron Masuda Takashi (1848-1938). President of Mitsu Company, Masuda was an avid collector during Japan’s transformative Meiji period (1868-1912) who assembled one of the most impressive and influential holdings of Japanese art—the legacy of which can still be felt in Japan’s cultural patrimony laws and in Japanese art collections worldwide.
