Asia Week New York reported on 10 November that TAI Modern’s second biennial Next Generation Prizes selected Oki Toshie for the Coffland Grand Prize, Aoyagi Keiko for Excellence in Tradition and Hasegawa Kei for Excellence in Sculpture; Hata Satomi, Ikeda Yoshihiro, Kondo Masayo and Okaji Kumi were also finalists. The organisers say an international panel of current and former museum curators reviewed entries blind. The award-winning works are on view at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, where Oki is scheduled to speak on 14 November at 2 p.m. PST; advance reservations are recommended. This is an award and exhibition announcement, not an auction result or OACA valuation.
