ABOUT:

In early 2024, Kurt Gitter and Alice Yelen Gitter gifted over fifty works of Japanese art to NOMA. This remarkable donation includes major works by Edo-period painters (1615-1868), as well as significant works of ceramic art from the late 20th century to the present day. Selected works include ink and color on paper, ink on paper, and stoneware with ash glaze. See the exhibit from May 10 - October 27, 2024.
