From Thursday, September 5 through Saturday, November 23 (a Japanese national holiday), the Shiseido Art House will be presenting the second half of its exhibitions for this year, showcasing a broad array of items selected from the Shiseido Art House Museum collections.
The main feature of this 3-part exhibition will be its Vintage Perfume Bottle Masterpieces Exhibition 2024 — Focusing on Lalique, Baccarat, and Viard. Here, we will be introducing the timeless beauty of perfume bottles, which are often considered to be the incomparable gems of the commercial arts.
During the period extending from the late 19th century through to the 1940s, these elegant perfume bottles were custom-made for France’s leading Parisian perfume merchants as vessels for their own products. Currently, these not only hold great significance for their highly esteemed artistic quality, but also in terms of the history of cosmetic culture and perfume history. Shiseido has been methodically collecting vintage perfume bottles since 1986, in response to a proposal by Serge Lutens, a French creator active in a wide range of fields including fragrance, cosmetics and film.
From this collection of nearly 300 unique pieces, Shiseido’s exhibition presents approximately 100 items selected from among the most rare and valuable creations by René Lalique, the Baccarat company and Julien Viard.
The Shiseido Art House will also be holding Selection 2024 from the Crafts for All of Us Exhibition ― From Autumn to Winter, which has been reassembled by carefully selecting works from the complete series of the Crafts for All of Us exhibitions held at the Shiseido Art House Museum between 2015 and 2023.
Additionally, the exhibition Sculptors Also Paint ― Paintings and 3D Modeling by Sculptors will also be held at the same time, showcasing figurative sculptures by such artists as Katsura Funakoshi, Tadayoshi Sato, and Marino Marini, together with paintings by the same selection of artists.
We hope that these exhibitions—which distill the essence of the Shiseido Art House Museum’s diverse collection—will bring a sense of the 'joy of viewing' to as many people as possible.
