As part of Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain Genève (MAMCO Geneva) mamco_geneve’s “In Course of Acquisition” project, we are thrilled to share the museum has acquired Katsumi Nakai’s “Object 46-104”, 1973.
Acquired in situ during Art Genève Art Genève 2026, “Object 46-104” was selected for the museum’s permanent collection in a radically transparent process wherein MAMCO’s booth was populated live by works discovered at the fair. This acquisition further solidifies Nakai’s institutional presence in Europe, following the Centre Pompidou Centre Pompidou’s 2020 acquisition of his work, “Untitled”, 1971.
