While unboxing the painting The Gleize Bridge Over the Vigueirat Canal by Vincent van Gogh in the presence of journalists on Monday, Shanghai Museum East announced the opening of ticket sales for its upcoming exhibition Masterpieces of the Pola Museum of Art: From Impressionism to Contemporary Art, which will run from Jan 22 to April 21.
The Pola Museum of Art, located in Hakone-machi of the Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan, is home to an exclusive private collection of Western art distinguished by its quality and quantity.
Its collection was founded by Tsuneshi Suzuki, son of the founder of the Pola Group, a cosmetics company. Suzuki loved painting and Chinese ceramics and began acquiring distinguished collections in the 1960s. He passed away in 2000, two years before the Pola Museum opened.
