Following deceased Dutch artist Daan van Golden's quotation "Art is not a competition", the gallery strives to help develop a cooperative, mutually supportive contemporary art world. Based in Tokyo, we represent 34 artists from Japan and abroad; each of whom maintains an art practice rooted in the literal; each of whom does not shy away from humor. Ieffrey Rosen presently serves as co-president of the board of the New York based non-profit organization, NADA (New Art Dealers Alliance) as well as sitting on the board of the non-profit organization, Contemporary Art Group (Contemporary Art Daily, Contemporary Art Library and Quarterly); Misako Rosen serves as a director of CADAN (Contemporary Art Dealers Association Nippon) based in Tokyo.
