"CAF Prize Winning Work Exhibition" held in Daikanyama in Autumn of Art To open a 12,000 billion yen Basqui work

In the past few days, opportunities to see images of "Basqui work" in Instagram increased. There are probably many people who have noticed it. It is due to the opening of the Basquiar work "Untitled" (1882) from October 31 (Tue) at Daikanyama Hillside Forum. Actually, this work, a bid for about 12.3 billion yen by the president of Mr. Maezawa Maezaki of Start Today (Chiba city, Chiba prefecture) which operates fashion shopping site "ZOZOTOWN (Zozotown)" in New York · Sotheby's in May this year. After bidding successfully, in addition to the topic of domestic first public release, "entrance free" "photographable", so many visitors have visited and SNS proliferation continues.
This time, the first time I released the "Basqui work" at this timing is because the "4th CAF Award Winning Work Exhibition" organized by the Contemporary Arts Foundation hosted by Mr. Maenawa at the same venue is being held . In order to excite the exhibition targeting students who are interested in artists, "Yuzaki Maesawa Collection" is opened as a special exhibition. The "CAF Award" that started from 2014, as long as it meets the requirement of "student", applies for a wide range of genres such as paintings, sculptures, images and installations, without regard to age, nationality, career, etc. Because it is possible, it is known as a wide art award for the frontage. This year we have also decided 16 prize-winning prospects for the future from hundreds of entries.

Nonetheless, there are still so many unnamed student artists that we can not expect so many visitors. So, Mr. Maezawa's stylistic idea is that she bought someone for collection by exhibition of famous artists owned by himself.
