Great show Tsuyoshi. The prints were gorgeous and the mix of contemporary and quiet really worked. I was blown away by the fidelity and beauty of the collotype process. I thought the Gowin and Tice prints in particular really showed off the process. Only the texture of the paper hinted that something really interesting was going on. Art on art.

I absolutely loved the two pieces by Graciela Iturbide, and “Fall” from Koichiro Kurita is currently at MOPA San Diego in a 25 year retrospective. Great to see this kind of work being shown in Philadelphia.
