    **About UESHIMA MUSEUM**
    UESHIMA MUSEUM is located on the grounds of Shibuya Kyoiku Gakuen, the alma mater of UESHIMA COLLECTION owner Kankuro Ueshima. It is highly regarded for its emphasis on international perspective and high ethical standards in education under the fundamental goal of "Seek and Think for Oneself." (“Jicho-Jiko”) The museum’s building, named “Ueshima Tower, Shibuya Kyoiku Gakuen”, was renovated from the former British School in Tokyo, which was established in 1988 and held its opening ceremony in September of the following year in the presence of the late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The British School in Tokyo was utilized until August 2023 and was reopened after renovation.

    Address: Ueshima Tower, Shibuya Kyoiku Gakuen 1-21-18 Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo
    Museum Director: Kankuro Ueshima
    Curator： Yuko Hasegawa

    **Thematic Exhibits for Creative Encounters**
    The second collection exhibition will be mostly replaced by a new exhibition, except for the permanent display on the second floor.
    The first exhibition in this collection, with “contemporaneity” as its core theme, focused on modern human emotions and humanity through intense abstraction, while contemporary narratives in figurative works and conceptual art were also on display.
    In this exhibition, each floor is curated under a distinct theme to encourage diverse expressions of contemporary art and foster unique encounters between the artworks and viewers. The spatial composition invites resonance between works and a fluid experience of the environment, liberating the viewer’s senses and imagination to inspire free interpretation.

    << Basement >> Cosmos and Gravity
    A gaze toward “Gaia”, the Earth, and a yearning for the universe beyond human knowledge. Amid a growing ecological sensibility, we find ourselves once again drawn to the elemental force of "gravity". In the basement exhibition room, works such as Bosco Sodi’s "Galaxy"—which uses earth and raw materials to depict the transformation of matter into something sacred—and Robert Longo’s "Planet Series", portraying the sublime scale of time and space through portraits of planets, unfold a sweeping cosmic vision. This is a space that leads to a dual experience, where one is pulled downward by gravity, yet consciousness is released into the beyond.


    マーク・クインの作品


    ロバート・ロンゴの作品


    ボスコ・ソディの作品


    シアスター・ゲイツの作品

    "Solar Eclipse Northern Hemisphere August 11th 1999", Marc Quinn, (2017)
    "untitled (small Venus)", Robert Longo (2005)
    "untitled (Urushi Series)", Bosco Sodi (2015)
    "Creamy Rich Sky, Asphalt Horizon Roll," Theaster Gates (2014)


    << 1F >> City and Pop
    Through the newly opened windows, the pulse of Shibuya’s cityscape flows in like a breath, alive and immediate. To resonate with the reality of the city, the first floor of the exhibition centers around Pop Art. Beginning with Andy Warhol’s cool, incisive gaze at the objects of everyday life, the exhibition expands to include Yoshitomo Nara’s uniquely “neotenic pop,” where his work encounters and converses with Hokusai’s ukiyo-e. Furthermore, diverse expressions of urban and pop art intersect in this vivid panorama of contemporary sensibilities, including Banksy's poetic resistance from the streets.


    バンクシーの作品「Bomb Love」


    草間彌生の作品


    奈良美智の作品「No Nukes」


    アンディ・ウォーホルの作品「Campbell’s Soup I: Tomato」

    "Bomb Love", Banksy (2003)
    "I who await the arrival, any moment now, of my art Awaiting the arrival of my heart's glorious consolation Years passed before I knew it Because I felt lonely today I watched a white cloud in the sky", Yayoi Kusama (2021)
    "No Nukes", Yoshitomo Nara (2022)
    "Campbell’s Soup I: Tomato", Andy Warhol (1968)


    << 2F >> Gerhard Richter and James Turrell
    In the center space of the second floor, a group of works by Gerhard Richter offers a quiet illumination of the subtle fluctuations that drift between materiality and image. A new permanent exhibition room by James Turrell will also be added. His immersive light work transforms the act of "seeing" into a sensory experience, returning the viewers to the foundations of perception, dissolving between the visual and the conscious boundaries. In Turrell's space, light is no longer an object, but becomes the medium of thought itself.


    ゲルハルト・リヒターの作品「Kanarische Landschaften I」


    ゲルハルト・リヒターの作品「21. Feb. 01」


    ゲルハルト・リヒターの作品「Abstrakte Skizze (Abstract Sketch)」


    ゲルハルト・リヒターの作品「Abstraktes Bild (P1)」

    "Kanarische Landschaften I [Canary Landscapes I (Butin 39)]", Gerhard Richter (1971)
    "21. Feb. 01", Gerhard Richter (2001)
    "Abstrakte Skizze (Abstract Sketch)", Gerhard Richter
    "Abstraktes Bild (P1)", Gerhard Richter (1990/2014)


    << 3F >> Geometry and Introspective Compositions – Abstract at Room Temperature
    In today's fast-paced and stimulating society, we often find ourselves longing for "tranquility" and "a moderate temperature" of being. This floor features geometric abstract paintings that simultaneously evoke a sense of calm and tension. These works temper emotional intensity and guide viewers toward introspective contemplation. Rather than vocal expressions of emotion, there is a "room temperature" aesthetic that is felt through submergence.



    アグネス・マーティンの作品「untitled」


    山田正亮の作品「Work E. 369」


    アンセルム・ライルの作品「untitled」


    スプツニ子！の作品「幸せの四葉のクローバーを探すドローン」

    "untitled", Agnes Martin (1995)
    "Work E. 369", Masaaki Yamada (1988-89)
    "untitled", Anselm Reyle (2005)
    "Drone in Search for a Four - Leaf Clover", Sputniko! (2023)


    << 4F >> Narratives and the Aura of Color
    On this floor, compelling narratives of personal life and historical memory unfold powerfully through works by artists of diverse nationalities, including artists from Africa. Interspersed among figurative works composed with vivid colors and bold compositions are abstract works by Bernard Frize and other artists that capture the subtle presence—the aura—of color itself. This deliberate layering causes the boundary between image and abstraction to fluctuate, evoking both story and poetry within the viewer.


    ウマー・ラシッドの作品


    油野愛子の作品「CAMELLIA (Narrative)」


    ワハブ・サヒードの作品「untitled」


    加藤泉の作品「untitled」

    "Payback is a motherfucker. The final death of Harlem Carl. Or, in another time, he would have outlived us all." Umar Rashid (2022)
    "CAMELLIA (Narrative)", Aiko Yuno (2022)
    "untitled", Wahab Saheed (2022)
    "untitled", Izumi Kato (2020)


    << 5F >> Entanglement of Matter and Emotion
    Love and desire, libido and memory—this floor explores the complex emotions surrounding these themes as a tangle of matter and image (entanglement). The sensual radiance of Jean-Michel Othoniel's red glass sculptures and the intimate portrait of Yoko and Lennon by Nanae Mitobe both center on "love", yet resist reducing to a single meaning. Clad in a contemporary sensibility of glitch, noise, and hybridity, these works delicately and provocatively reflect our complex and slightly distorted desires and relationships today.


    ベルナール・フリズの作品「Bitje」


    ジャン・ミッシェル・オトニエルの作品「pink Lotus」


    マーク・クインの作品「The Moon of Jupiter」


    水戸部七絵の作品「remember love」

    "Bitje", Bernard Frize (2019)
    "pink Lotus", Jean-Michel Othoniel (2015)
    "The Moon of Jupiter", Marc Quinn (2010)
    "remember love", Nanae Mitobe (2022)


    Exhibition space as a "blank space"
    This exhibition weaves the emotions and questions of contemporary life into the spaces between artworks and across floors. The exhibition space is not merely a stage for display, but a “blank space” where thought breathes and relationships emerge.
    We hope that by stopping at the blank space and encountering the works anew through their own senses, visitors may begin a creative journey—one that unearths the layered strata of our present time.

    << List of artists scheduled to exhibit >>
    Agnes Martin, Alexis Rockman, Anselm Reyle, Andy Warhol, Ryoji Ikeda, Umar Rashid, Olafur Eliasson, Izumi Kato, Katsushika Hokusai, Kapwani Kiwanga, Gideon Appah, Yayoi Kusama, Cerith Wyn Evans, Gerhard Richter, Theaster Gates, James Turrell, Chiharu Shiota, Jean-Michel Othoniel, John Madu, Sputniko!, Aya Takano, Keisuke Tada, Damien Hirst, Dan Flavin, teamLab, Thomas Struth, Torkwase Dyson, Tracey Emin, Yoshitomo Nara, Kohei Nawa, Nicolas Buffe, Harold Ancart, Banksy, Pius Fox, Bernard Frize, Bosco Sodi, Marc Quinn, Mark Ryden, Michael Kagan, Takesada Matsutani, Nanae Mitobe, Takashi Murakami, Moses Zibor, Kohei Yamada, Masaaki Yamada, Aiko Yuno, Ryan Gander, Ryan Sullivan, Louise Bourgeois, Robert Longo, Roberto Pelle, Wahab Saheed

The museum will exhibit selected contemporary art pieces from UESHIMA COLLECTION, a collection of over 650 works by a wide range of domestic and international artists based on the theme of "contemporaneity" and aligned with various themes.

    To be a space for contemplating "contemporaneity" through art.

    **UESHIMA MUSEUM’s Purpose of Establishment = Mission**
    Artistic expression, which seamlessly transcends boundaries and is diverse, personal, and social, has created numerous possibilities beyond people's imagination. Reflecting on art means reflecting on our past, present, and future. UESHIMA MUSEUM sees the significance and mission of collecting artworks to cultivate true freedom of imagination and innovative thinking, as well as to pass on the perspectives and challenges artists present through their works to the next generation.
    Through a wide range of activities including creating opportunities to support young artists and collaborating with educational institutions, the museum aims to contribute to the revitalization of the art scene and aspire to embody "contemporaneity" while living in society.

    **About UESHIMA COLLECTION**
    Established in Feb 2022 by entrepreneur and investor Kankuro Ueshima. He has begun his full-scale collection activities ever since.
    Ueshima has always been agile and responsive in the concept of "contemporaneity”, and he quickly embodies the future and proactively contributes to building a better society. Based on the idea that both business and art are universal, UESHIMA COLLECTION primarily focuses on artists with a strong sense of "contemporaneity", or young artists who are engaged in progressive creative activities.
