I visited the collection exhibition “Synergy Toward Expression,” featuring works from the collection of entrepreneur Kazuma Ieiri. The venue is awabar kyoto, a cafe space in Kyoto.

Only six works were on view, a small selection relative to the size of the overall Ieiri collection.
Exhibitions that open a collector’s holdings to the public are, I think, a very valuable opportunity.
