Ray Yoshida – Museum Of Extraordinary Values

Posted by Fabio 9 October 2013

Ray Yoshida’s Museum Of Extraordinary Values presents, for the very first time, the entirety of his finds. The contents of his Chicago apartment at 1944 Wood Street have been sectioned into nine tableaux that are based on site visits, interviews, and photographs made during his life as well as after his death. In this way, the integral relationships among the objects and works of art are presented as they existed in the apartment. In the gallery, more than 60 works created by Yoshida surround the collection, making manifest the connections between the collection and the artist’s eye. Shown in the context of the artist’s paintings and collages, the exhibition offers a stimulating and unprecedented glimpse into the artist’s process and surroundings.
