Floating World Gallery Reprises "The Great Wave: An Introduction to Japanese Woodblock Prints"
If you missed it in May, Chicago's Floating World Gallery is giving you a second chance to attend "The Great Wave: An Introduction to Japanese Woodblock Prints" on Saturday, July 31. The free seminar, designed for collectors, will provide audiences the chance view original museum quality prints up close. FWG Director of Exhibitions Elias Martin will share insights into Japanese print genres, and explore not only the history of the art form, but also production techniques, and collecting strategies. Works of artists such as Katsushika Hokusai, Kawase Hasui, and Kiyoshi Saito will be discussed.
The event takes place at Floating World Gallery (1925 N. Halsted St.) Saturday, July 31 from 1-3 pm. A reception will follow the seminar. Admission is free, but space is limited. To reserve your spot, email classes@floatingworld.com, or call 312-587-7800.
