Gregg Baker Asian Art’s mission is to promote the beauty and versatility of Japanese art focusing on antique Japanese screens, early Buddhist sculpture and classical works of art. The gallery now shows works from the post-war era and carries abstract painting, sculpture and calligraphy by leading Japanese artists of the mid-20th century.  

‘Suda Kokuta: A Lifetime of Mandala – 30 Years Later’ is a solo exhibition honouring one of Japan’s most important post-war artists, Suda Kokuta (1906-1990), at the height of his artistic expression between 1949 and 1970.  Following two museum exhibitions held earlier this year in Japan, we believe this to be the only selling exhibition dedicated to Suda Kokuta held outside Japan during this anniversary year.
