玉石の美 ―人びとを魅了した石の工芸―
令和4年9月18日（日）～11月13日（日）
玉(ぎょく)は翡翠等の貴石で作られた作品をさす中国美術の一分野で、絵画や陶磁器などに比べ日本では知名度は低いですが、中国美術では欠かすことのできない重要な工芸分野です。淡く光を通し艶やかな光沢をもつ天然の石の美しさを生かし、磨きや彫りの巧みな技術から作り上げられた、古代から近世の装飾具、祭祀器、飲食器等の作品をご覧いただきます。また、あわせて古墳時代の勾玉に代表される日本の貴石の作品も出陳し、日本、中国で貴ばれてきた美しい石の魅力に親しんでいただく機会といたします。
当館には国内では希少な中国玉器コレクションが所蔵されており、これらの作品とともに国内の美術館施設等の所蔵品を出陳いただき、開館40周年記念特別展として開催いたします。
ダイアローグ かたちのちから －西宮市大谷記念美術館所蔵品展－
令和4年9月18日（日）～11月13日（日）
本展覧会は、令和4年度に開館50周年を迎える西宮市大谷記念美術館（兵庫県西宮市）と、40周年を迎える当館との交換展として開催する展覧会です。ともに記念の年を迎える西宮市大谷記念美術館と当館が、西宮市と和泉市、それぞれの場所で互いの重ねた時間を振り返る企画です。当館では初の試みとして、現代美術を中心に展示します。西宮市大谷記念美術館が開館から継続して収集されてきた、関西にゆかりのある現代美術の作家たちを中心に多彩な造形作品を紹介いたします。
さまざまな素材や色、形をもつ立体作品や、自由闊達に動き、時に立体感や物質感を持つ線描により構成された絵画作品を中心に陳列します。展示室のなかで生まれる作品と鑑賞者の個の対話（ダイアローグ）が、作家や他者との対話につながり、鑑賞という体験が美術館の外にもつながっていく機会となれば幸いです。

Special Exhibition
The Beauty of Jades—Stone Artwork to Capture People’s Heart
September 18 (Sun.), 2022 – November 13 (Sun.)
This is a special exhibition to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the museum, which is known to house one of the most extensive collections of Chinese jades in existence. Hardstone carving using precious stones, such as jadeite, is an important genre of art in China, and although not as well known to Japan as the paintings and ceramics outside of the country, it is regarded very highly in China. This exhibition will highlight a number of jades from ancient and modern China, including ornaments, ritual implements and tableware, made using meticulous polishing and carving techniques to accentuate the stone’s natural tone, texture and beauty. It also features Japanese stone artworks from the ancient tumulus period, on loan from the collections of other Japanese museums, to offer visitors an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of stone artwork from both countries.

Special Project
Dialogue—Power of Shapes—From the Collection of Otani Memorial Art Museum, Nishinomiya City
September 18 (Sun.), 2022 – November 13 (Sun.)
This exhibition will be held as an exchange project between Otani Memorial Art Museum, Nishinomiya City, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2022, and our museum, celebrating its own 40th anniversary this year. The aim of this collaboration is to allow each institution to reflect on the other’s history by showcasing some of their collection in their own museum. In our museum, we will endeavor, for the first time, to exhibit mainly modern art pieces. These artworks, mostly by artists related to the Kansai region, have been collected throughout the history of the Otani Memorial Art Museum, Nishinomiya City.
The exhibition will attempt to showcase a wide variety of compositions that feature different colors and shapes, and some truly dynamic and unique styles, such as three-dimensional images and unusual materials. We hope this will be an opportunity to create a broader dialogue, first among the pieces themselves, the artists and viewers, and then with those outside the museum.
