Two works from Tokyo Fuji Art Museum’s private collection—Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s “Young Woman in Red Dress” and “Woman Reading”—are being exhibited at the National Palace Museum of Taiwan from May 25 to September 8. This is the first major Renoir exhibition held in Taiwan, with pieces loaned from ten museums in the United States, France, Japan, including the two from TFAM, and other countries.
“Young Woman in Red Dress” was previously shown in Taiwan in 2000, when TFAM organized its “Masterpieces of Western Paintings from the Renaissance to the 20th Century” at the National Dr. Sun Yat-sent Memorial Hall in Taipei.
“Woman Reading” has been displayed overseas on three occasions: at the Rupertinum Museum in Salzburg, Austrai in 1998; the National Dr. Sun-Yat-sen Memorial Hall in 2000, and the Seoul Museum of Art in South Korea in 2009.
