We are pleased to announce our upcoming gallery presentation, STERLING: 25 Years in New York, celebrating our ‘silver’ anniversary during Asia Week New York 2026. Having passed the quarter-century mark, we assembled this exhibition mindful of our own history as we look back on our previous 90 exhibitions and 9 publications, with at least 7,000 works sold to over 50 museums and countless thousands of collectors, while also contemplating the direction of future possibilities. The exhibition will present a selection of works reflecting our continuing commitment to exploring the intertwining development of Japanese woodblock prints from the early to mid-20th century by artists who designed shin-hanga (lit. ‘new prints’) and sosaku hanga (lit. ‘creative prints’), while expanding our collective understanding of the art and artists who contributed to this field. The prints on offer will be supplemented by several paintings related to the design and/or aesthetics of the period, with a fresh look at new artists and related genres. Important and coveted works by highly sought-after artists will be juxtaposed with intriguing finds by little-known or unknown contemporaries. The timeline will begin at the turn of the 20th century and include the creative blast of the post-war period.
