New Aquisition at Die Neue Sammlung: The Gisela and Fred Jahn Japanese Collection

One of the most important collections of modern Japanese ceramics and lacquerware has been acquired for Die Neue Sammlung (DNS) thanks to the support of Cultural Foundation of the German Federal States, the Ernst von Siemens Kunststiftung and Förderverein PIN. Freunde der Pinakothek der Moderne. In this way, DNS’s ceramics section, which ever since its foundation in 1925 the exhibition hall has busily sought to expand, has now been emphatically strengthened as regards Asia. The same is true of lacquerware, of which DNS has to date only possessed a few items.
