| history |
Kimiko and John Powers (1916-99) began collecting art in 1960 with the purchase of a pair of six-panel landscape screens by Kusumi Morikage and a hanging scroll titled Courtesan Blowing Soap Bubbles by Shiba Kokan. These pieces formed the basis of their Japanese art collection from the fourth to mid-nineteenth centuries. The Powers collection includes Haboku (broken ink), Buddhist art, Zen painting, and literati painting of the eighteenth century. Kimiko and John Powers married in 1963. In addition to Japanese art the Powers built a contemporary art collection featuring work by Andy Warhol, Willem de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Claes Oldenburg, and Roy Lichtenstein. Kimiko resides in Colorado and Japan. retrieved on 7/17/2008 http://www.joanpacos.com/asianart/biographies_f.html |
