Join us on October 16 as Mark Pearson and Mihyun Kang give us a fascinating glimpse into the past, present, and future of Japanese photography. Russet Lederman will moderate the talk in conversation style.

In addition to producing exhibitions and publications with Issei Suda (b. 1940), Kazuo Kitai (b. 1944) and Seiji Kurata (b. 1945), he has also worked with a number of the younger generation of Japanese photographers and a number of the great Chinese contemporary photographers. Pearson will discuss how he became involved with these extraordinary yet under-appreciated artists and the significance to the art market of the growing international interest in Japanese and other Asian photography.
