Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi exhibition

sunrise surf 500x500 Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi exhibition

I’ve kept this exhibition pretty close to my chest thus far. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out. It’s a very large group art selling festival (for want of a better description) which I’ve somehow managed to get myself involved in.
Despite it having a very department store like feel I have to say I’m enjoying the experience. The range of people that travel past the exhibits every day is staggering.
The other thing that has completely knocked my socks off is the price of some of the work on display. The most expensive piece I found was over $500,000US so there is quite a price range to be had.
I have been lucky enough to be included as one of only 2 photographers to be exhibiting and Mitsukoshi is, for the first time, including photography in their art exhibition (so I guess I should be feeling privileged).

If you have any interest the event is on till the 18th located on the 7th floor of the main Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi store (Mitsukoshimae station on the Ginza line).

  • So did you sell anything?
  • hey, the exhibition sounds interesting, but can you give me more information on the location? It's always difficult to find an adress in tokyo....
  • Hi Fritz,
    Thanks for your interest in my exhibition. Unfortunately it's finished. I was from the 13th to the 18th Jan. Perhaps next time I will annouce the next one well in advance.
    Cheers.
  • argh, I though it's going to be till the 18th of February, since I just read something about this exhibition in a tweet recently... bummer

    as a photographer in Tokyo, trying to get his own exhibition, I'm also curious, how you got chosen by this gallery?
  • How I got chosen by the gallery? Was introduced by a friend. That and I was happy to spend loads of money on prints and frames with no return on investment. This always goes down well with gallery owners.
  • Congratulations!
    For those located in other worlds like me, would be nice to be able to take a peek at your exhibits here. Hope you can post some images soon!
  • Thank you :-) The image set was a strange collection.
    I will make a new post with the images. Thanks for the suggestion
    Cheers, Sean.
  • After having seen the chaos of the exhibition hall (over 200 artists, mostly painters showing), which is located at the entrance to a Nagasaki Food Fair, it is not surprising that one of the top five artists and by far the best photographer showing work would be one of the only artists available for comment. Great image selection, amazing print quality and overall good presentation.
  • You are too kind.
  • Thank you guy's. It's a strange but fun experience.
  • congrats. Mate, hearing all those snags you had to go through to get it printed,
    good to hear its up ready and hanging. best of luck.
    Will go check it out too.
  • Congrats.Hope you sell everything!!!
