Japanese prints on sale
By Matt Bartel Staff Reporter
For any art lover who has ever wanted to take a museum piece home, the Japanese print sales show the beauty of Art is a golden opportunity.
The exhibition, on display in the White Gallery until Sept. 19, features 60 wood block prints from a period stretching between 1730 and 1900. Stephen Addiss, curator of Eastern art, said yesterday. In addition, the prints are all for sale, ranging in price from $60 to $8,000.
The median price, according to Jan Howard, assistant curator, has been about $100 for the 15 prints sold thus far.
The prints are all from the gallery of Robert Sawers, a London art dealer, said Carol Shankel, public relations director for the museum. Sawers plans to donate 20 percent of the purchase fees from the sale of the prints to the museum, Addiss said, and that money will be used to buy a Japanese print for the museum.
Addiss said four people worked on each print: a publisher, an artist, an engraver and a printer, each of whom were considered state of the art craftsmen at that time.
In the past 100 years, he said, 90 percent of the prints produced during that period have been taken out of Japan by outsiders.
Addiss said that while the prints once were looked down on by the Japanese, they now were considered valuable there.
frank Lloyd Wright brought lots of these out of Japan." Addiss said. "In their own day they were like posters would be to us."
Many of the prints feature the work of the Tori School, a family of artists who painted theatrical figures, he said. Also included are works by Kitagawa Utamaro, Ando Hiroshige and Kunisada.
Ulamaro was considered great for his psychological portraits of Japanese landscapes, Addis said. Hiroshige and Kunisada were great artists who were well liked and knew me in a modest price range, he said.
The show includes several of Hiroshige's works depicting scenes along the Tokaido Highway, which runs between Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan, and was renowned for its scenery, so much that it is considered a highlight. She said seven of Hiroshige's 53 scenes from that highway were included in the show.
Addiss said prints that were purchased were marked with a red dot and could be claimed by the museum in receipt at the museum Sept. 20, 24.
Hours at the museum are 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday.

Senate may help plan budget
A lack of cooperation among KU officials to include students in University budget decisions may prompt the establishment of a student Senate and University deans, David Adkins, student body president, said yesterday.
Adkins, beginning the second semester of his one-year term, praised the efforts of Gov. John Carlin and Chancellor Gene A. Budig in organizing the curricula. The two said students should have had a larger role in administering those cuts.
"I think the students should play a part in deciding what classes, if any, should be cut," Adkins said. "I'm sure a lot of deans already meet with their advisors to discuss how they would have a formal link with the Student Senate."
it the Senate should adopt Adkins' plan, the liaison groups, known as dean advisory committees, would lobby the Senate to effort to communicate student opinion
"When the chancellor made the
budget cuts," Adkins said, "he left it up to the academic deans to administrate the cuts. In a sense, there really was no student input into the budget process."
Adkins said the dean advisory committees, if organized, could also prevent student fees that may be levied to decrease the impact of the budget
"There could be more." Adkins said, adding that such temporary fees usually become a permanent part of the University's income."
Small fee increases for the School of Fine Arts and the department of biological sciences were approved last year.
With the additional $10 million generated to Regents institutions by next year's 22 percent tuition increase, Adams said he hoped legislators would allocate $1 to $5 million for the creation of a new student job program.
"It's something that would provide private companies with matching funds."
