Seeking New Homes
Yoko Nakamura (1934–2026) continued to paint throughout her life while working as an art teacher. Her studio held a remarkable body of figures, landscapes, flowers and symbolic works.
The family cannot preserve every painting in one place. We hope some of her works will find new homes where they can continue to be seen, lived with and cared for.
The five works below are currently held by the family. Enquiries about acquisition and long-term stewardship are welcome. Availability, condition, dimensions, transportation and terms will be confirmed individually. No sale or transfer is guaranteed.
A Gaze Returning from the Depths of Green
YN-020 · 緑の奥から帰る眼差し
A sharp gaze returns from the depths of green. Orange, yellow, and red layered across face and clothing bring the figure’s heat and elegance into being at once.

An Afternoon Sinking into the Red Chair
