 After World War II, American artists attempted to break away from European influence and searched for original ways of expressing.
Painting played an important role in broadcasting new artistic ideas to the world. Many of these innovative works of contemporary American art have been gathered together in the Misumi Art Collection, which focuses on high quality prints and groundbreaking paintings by younger artists.
The collection has received high praise for its strongly individual character and remarkable prescience.
In the present exhibition, this marvelous collection is supplemented by works from the fine collections of Pop Art held by public museums in Kyushu, offering 110 works, mostly paintings, by 30 artists including Warhol and Lichtenstein.
