Nozaki Michio (1931– ) donated more than 150 pieces of contemporary art, mainly by Gerhard Richter (1932– ), to the museum last year. In the 1980s, while working as an ophthalmologist, Mr. Nozaki developed an appreciation for modern and contemporary art as evidenced by his collection of artworks and books. In addition to Richter, of whom Mr. Nozaki was particularly fond, this exhibition presents a selection of
works by Sigmar Polke (1942–2010),
Joseph Beuys (1921–1986),
Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997), and
Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968), as well as some of Mr. Nozaki's thoughts on collecting art over the years.
