Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara is to hold a solo exhibition in Taipei this month as scheduled, as well as at two new locations in southern Taiwan after people there expressed an interest, one of the event’s organizers said.
The free exhibitions are to take place at the Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts in Taipei from March 12 to June 20, the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts in July, and the Tainan Art Museum in November, the General Association of Chinese Culture said, adding that this would be the first time that Miss Moonlight, a painting Nara finished last year, would be displayed overseas.
