Conservation and Curator Talk: Yoshi Nishio

Special Guest Yoshi Nishio with Stacey Kelly and Luke Kelly
Wednesday, March 27 | 6 PM | FREE
Dumke Auditorium at the UMFA

In this talk the UMFA will welcome Yoshi Nishio, president of Nishio Conservation Studio and one of the leading conservators of Asian scroll and screen painting in the country. Mr. Nishio will be joined on stage by Stacey Kelly, UMFA director of collections and conservator, and Luke Kelly, UMFA associate curator of collections, to discuss the conservation of Chiura Obata’s Horses screen—and the unprecedented discovery within it. Make time before the event to see the screen in Chiura Obata: Layer by Layer, on view in the UMFA's American and regional gallery.

Three people stand, talking and laughing in a studio room surrounded by papers and stacked boxes in the background.
