The Sarah Moody Gallery of Art is pleased to present the exhibition, Women of Mokuhanga, from the opening reception on October 17 through November 30, 2023.

There will be an opening reception on Tuesday, October 17 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. and a lecture on Thursday, November 9, at 4:00 p.m. by Assistant Professor Dr. Doris Sung in Gorgas Library’s Yellowhammer Room.

Co-curated by Sarah Marshall, professor of printmaking, and Doris Sung, professor of Asian art history, of the department of art and art history, Women of Mokuhanga features works in the Japanese method of mokuhanga (watercolor woodblock printmaking) by contemporary artists and traditional works in the medium, connecting its history with the vibrant output of women artists working today.

The exhibition features work by five celebrated contemporary women printmakers—Katie Baldwin, Jennifer Mack-Watkins, Yoonmi Nam, Lucy May Schofield, and April Vollmer—along with historical examples of mokuhanga: 19th-century ukiyo-e prints from the Sarah Moody Gallery of Art Permanent Collection and the Dr. and Mrs. William T. Price Asian Art Book Collection. Read more.
