The University of Wyoming Art Museum in Laramie, Wyoming, will open
its exhibit of netsuke by 20th century netsuke artist, Ichiro
(1891-1977), on Friday, September 11, 2009. Featured events will
include a gallery tour led by Norman L. Sandfield, a netsuke scholar
for more than thirty years, whose book,
Ichiro: Master Netsuke
Carver, will be released this summer. The book will be
available for purchase and the author will be holding a book-signing
Friday evening. Netsuke are toggles worn by Japanese men prior to
the 20th century to hold objects that they carried suspended from
their obi belt, since they had no pockets in their clothing.
The book compliments the exhibit of Ichiro’s netsuke which was
generously donated from the collection of Phyllis T. Shelton and the
late Huey G. Shelton, co-author of
Ichiro: Master Netsuke
Carver. The Sheltons met at the University and have been
long time supporters of the University Art Museum.
Ichiro: Master Netsuke Carver features more than 150 netsuke by a
single artist, one of the largest single-artist netsuke collections
in the world. In addition to the Shelton Collection, the book
features netsuke from the collections of Robert O. and Miriam
Kinsey and Richard R. Silverman.
Friday evening at the Museum will feature an Opening Reception for
five exhibitions, 6 – 8 pm.
More information to come.
