A massive screen painting by Japanese American artist Chiura Obata owned by the Utah Museum of Fine Arts will get some needed conservation work, thanks to a prestigious grant.
The grant, from the Bank of America’s Art Conservation Project, will go toward the restoration of Obata’s four-panel 1932 screen painting “Two Running Horses,” the museum announced Thursday afternoon. The museum did not disclose a dollar amount for the grant.of Obata’s works, “Chiura Obata: An American Modern,” in 2018.
The exhibition included sketches and watercolors the Bay Area artist created while he and his family were held in the Topaz War Relocation Center near Delta, Utah — one of the internment camps that held thousands of American citizens of Japanese ancestry during World War II. When the Topaz Museum opened in Delta in 2015, some of Obata’s work from that period were in the inaugural exhibition.
