Focus on Japan: Elise Wessels | Excursion to The Hague

Elise Wessels (1943–2023) is known to many enthusiasts of Japanese art as the founder and director of Nihon no hanga in Amsterdam. In 2022 she donated an important part of her print collection, more than 110 pieces, to the Rijksmuseum, which now holds one of the largest collections of twentieth-century Japanese print art outside Japan. In December, Venduehuis The Hague will auction prints and other art objects from the estate of Elise Wessels in the special sale Focus on Japan. In this context, the KVVAK is organizing a visit to the auction house on Saturday, 6 December, for which you can register.
