In commemoration of the grand opening of their new gallery at Bryant Park Place, Ronin Gallery is pleased to present a carefully curated collection of Japanese woodblock prints in Iconic: Images of the Floating World. From Hokusai’s Great Wave to Kuniyoshi’s Skeleton Specter, this exhibition presents an unprecedented opportunity to experience some of the most influential designs of ukiyo-e together in a single exhibition. The term iconic speaks to an immortality, an undimming radiance that crosses cultures and centuries. In the history of art, certain works are universally recognizable, from museum walls to emojis, these iconic designs blur the line between life and art. Explore the exhibition catalog below.
