The Museum and its History
In May, 1990, Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art was built on the grounds of the DIC Central Research Laboratory located in Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture to exhibit the artworks collected by DIC Corporation and its affiliated companies. As of the present, it has acquired over 1,000 works.
Katsumi Kawamura, the company’s second president and later first director of the museum, deeply loved art, and enjoyed nothing more than contemplating artwork and during what spare moments he could take from work. Beginning in the 1970s, the museum began to seriously collect art, and amassed a remarkable selection of 20th-century art: Picasso, Braque, Kandinsky, Malevich, Cornell, and others. Of equal note, is that the museum was also interested in up-and-coming American painters—Louis, Stella, and others—who were unknown at this time in Japan, yet highly regarded in Europe, and began to collect their paintings and works.
When Kawamura Katsumi’s long-held dream of establishing a museum was realised, the museum began to collect works of importance in American art history, such as Rothko’s murals and various works by Stella, thus laying the foundations of today’s collection.
The museum has expanded its collection with the 17th-century Dutch master Rembrandt’s portrait.
