The roundtable associated with the exhibition, None Whatsoever: Zen Paintings from the Gitter-Yelen Collection, explores the origins, evolution, and importance of the Gitter-Yelen Collection of Japanese art. Alice Yelen Gitter and Kurt Gitter will share their experiences and aspirations during the decades-long formation of their collection. A circle of expert curators and scholars will discuss the significance of Japanese art in the Gitter-Yelen Collection for museums, universities, and the public. Join our conversation about the stories, memories, and ideas behind the elusive and alluring Zen paintings on view - and other works of Japanese art in the Gitter-Yelen Collection.
