The museum’s announcement describes the presentation as the first Marquet exhibition in 35 years, although it does not provide an end date or further information about the exhibition’s venue arrangements.
Titled ‘Albert Marquet Exhibition,’ the show will bring together approximately 90 works from Japan and France. The selection will focus on Marquet’s landscape painting, including scenes of the Seine and other waterside settings. According to the museum, the works are distinguished by the artist’s use of soft gray tones.

The Sompo Museum of Art, which is based in Tokyo, is promoting paired admission tickets ahead of the opening. The museum’s announcement gives September 22 as the start date but does not list a closing date, public-programme schedule or details about the exhibition’s catalogue.
The exhibition is scheduled to open on September 22 in Tokyo, with approximately 90 works assembled from Japan and France.
