ALOHA from O'ahu
---Honolulu Museum of Art (HoMA)---
The Honolulu Museum of Art (HoMA) is a fine arts museum in Honolulu in the state of Hawai'i. It was known as the Honolulu Academy of Arts until 2012 when The Contemporary Museum in Makiki closed and gifted its assets and collection to the Honolulu Academy of Arts. Since its founding in 1922 by Anna Rice Cooke and opening April 8, 1927, its internationally recognized collection has grown to more than 50,000 works spanning 5,000 years.
HoMA’s permanent collection includes significant works of Asian art, with galleries dedicated to Japan, China, Korea, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The collection is especially strong in Chinese and Japanese paintings, Korean ceramics, Buddhist and Shinto sculpture, South and Southeast Asian sculpture and decorative arts, and textiles from across Asia. The crown jewel of the Academy’s Asian art collection is the James A. Michener Collection of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, one of the largest collections of its kind in the United States.
HoMA’s permanent collection also includes European and American paintings, sculptures, decorative arts and textiles, as well as more than 15,000 works on paper, comprising the largest concentration of works in the European and American collection ranging in date from the Renaissance to the present. Among the highlights are major Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and early modernist paintings by Georges Braque, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Fernand Léger, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and James McNeill Whistler. Significant works of art from the 20th century to the present include paintings and sculptures by Lee Bontecou, Alexander Calder, Leon Golub, Philip Guston, Yan Pei Ming, Isamu Noguchi, Nam June Paik, John Singer Sargent, David Smith, Masami Teraoka and Won Ju Lim.
Finally, HoMA traces the history of art in Hawai'i, with a gallery dedicated to Hawaiian traditional arts, art by Hawai'i artists, and art of Hawai'i (including paintings by Georgia O’Keeffe).
