London and Edo Cities on the Rise

April 3 - July 17, 2016 - This print exhibition highlights how two great cities on opposite sides of the world captured imaginations in the early 19th century, becoming the subject of nearly obsessive attention by artists.  At the center of the exhibition are two series of prints celebrating the great cities through the lens of their own time. Through these and related works, the exhibition highlights similarities—markets, theaters, government buildings, famous views—as well as revealing important differences.

Exhibit held at Mary Stamas Gallery (Gallery 153).
