SUMMARY:Members’ Preview: Eduardo Chillida
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 1\n10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. \n  \nMembers get early access! Be among the first to see this monumental exhibition.\nMembers are invited for a first look at Eduardo Chillida: Convergence.

The exhibition is accompanied by a full-color catalog that can be purchased at The Museum Store. \n  \nThe Members’ Preview will be held on Friday\, August 1\, from 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.\n \nTimed entry tickets are required for this member benefit event.

SUMMARY:Envisioning the Empress: Images of Japanese Imperial Women
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 28\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Alison Miller\, PhD\, Associate Professor of Art History and Director of Asian Studies at the University of the South (Sewanee)\nVirtual Event \n  \nJoin the Asian Arts Council on an exploration of the public images of Japanese empresses during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Based on research completed for her book\, Envisioning the Empress: The Lives and Images of Japanese Imperial Women\, 1868-1952\, Alison Miller\, PhD\, Associate Professor of Art History and Director of Asian Studies at the University of the South (Sewanee)\, will introduce and analyze the public images of the modern Japanese empresses\, discussing how visual culture elevated the women as celebrity role models. As imperial images were a completely new invention in the second half of the 19th century\, this talk will discuss the varied influences on the woodblock prints\, lithographs\, and photographs of the empresses\, and how they worked to establish the women as individuals\, but also timeless in the public eye. \nSpeaker Bio: Alison J.

She is co-editor and contributing author for The Visual Culture of Meiji Japan: Negotiating the Transition to Modernity (Routledge\, 2021) and Transposed Memory: Visual Sites of National Recollection in 20th and 21st Century East Asia (Brill\, 2024). Her book\, Envisioning the Empress: The Lives and Images of Japanese Imperial Women\, 1868-1952 (Routledge\, 2025) analyzes the social impact of the images of the modern Japanese empresses. Miller received her PhD from the University of Kansas and has taught at Bowdoin College and the Kansas City Art Institute.
