Japan Arts and Life The Montgomery Collection

Japan: Arts and Life — The Montgomery Collection by Francesco Paolo Campione presents highlights from one of the finest private collections of Japanese art and material culture in the Western world — assembled over decades by the American collector William I. Montgomery, whose depth of knowledge and quality of eye produced a collection of extraordinary coherence and beauty. The collection spans Japanese art from the Edo period to the early twentieth century, including painting, prints, lacquerwork, textiles, and objects of everyday life, each chosen for its quality and its ability to illuminate Japanese aesthetic sensibility. Published by Skira with exceptional photography, this scholarly catalogue is essential for collectors, Asian art historians, and anyone fascinated by the depth and refinement of Japanese material culture.
