Roppongi Hills and Mori Art Museum 10th Anniversary Exhibition
[opening] All You Need IS LOVE:
FROM CHAGALL TO KUSAMA AND HATSUNE MIKU
April 26 (FRI) – september 1 (Sun), 2013 MORI ART MUSEUM (53f, roppongi hills mori tower)
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of
Roppongi Hills and Mori Art Museum, the
Mori Art Museum is pleased to present “All
You Need Is LOVE: From Chagall to Kusama
and Hatsune Miku” from Friday, April 26 to
Sunday, September 1, 2013.
In 2003, the Mori Art Museum
celebrated its inauguration with “HAPPINESS:
A Sur vival Guide for Art and Life, ” an
exhibition that dealt with that most universal
of themes and an emotion important to
all of us: “happiness.” In a similar vein, this
exhibition marking the museum ’s 10th
anniversary focuses on the most fundamental
human desire that has continued to provide
all manner of inspiration to artists regardless
of genre in all times and places: “love.”
From romantic love to familial love
and love for humanity, life-giving love is
highly complex, arousing feelings such as
attachment, jealousy, animosity, resentment,
and hostility in us that appear at odds with
its peaceful, affirmative image.
In addition, today, with the development
of new technologies such as the Internet,
Koons Sacred Heart 1994-2007
love is becoming increasingly diverse, as Jeff

connections between individuals.
Divided into five sections titled “What Is Love?” “A Couple in Love,” “Love in Losing,” “Family and Love,”
“
and Love Beyond,” this exhibition explores love in all its complexity and variety through around 200 artworks
representative of different regions and time periods, including both masterpieces from art history and ambitious
new works.
With the experience of the unprecedented disaster of 2011 still fresh in the minds of people in Japan and
with various conflicts still raging around the world, we believe now is a good time to explore the diversity and
possibilities of love through art.

EXHIBITION OUTLINE
The single word "love" has various meanings, covering everything from romantic love to familial love, self-love,
and love for humanity. To have loving feelings for someone, to cherish something, and to have the forbearance
to accept others are probably sentiments we all experience as part of our daily lives. However, love also arouses
feelings of attachment, jealousy, animosity, resentment, and hostility, and as such can be the cause of conflict
and discord. Violence and fighting in the name of love is a problem that can occur within any group, from the
family to the state.
At the same time, we are seeing major shifts in political, social, and religious values around the world.
Traditional structures such as the state and the family and concepts such as male-female relationships are
likewise metamorphosing and diversifying. We are now able to access vast amounts of information via the
Internet, while social media and other new forms of social connection that heretofore never existed are
attracting increasing attention. New technologies are shedding light on the form of the reality that surrounds us,
from the makeup of our DNA to the vastness of outer space, and as new questions are being raised about the
meaning of human life, perhaps love, too, is in the process of emerging in new forms.
Notions and definitions of love differ according to region, time period, religion, culture, and so on. There
is no doubt, however, that themes related to love have continued to provide all manner of inspiration to artists
regardless of genre in all times and places.
By presenting a diverse range of artworks gathered from Japan and overseas and organized into five sections
titled “What Is Love?” “A Couple in Love,” “Love in Losing,” “Family and Love,” and “Love Beyond,” this exhibition
will explore from various viewpoints “love” in all its complexity and variety.
In the wake of the unprecedented catastrophe of the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011, people in
Japan have a renewed sense of the true value of love, bonds of friendship, and social connections. Through this
exhibition, we would like to remind people of the importance of working together in a world where disasters,
recessions, and conflicts seem never-ending to build a world full of love and peace.
Regardless of how the world map changes and of the way methods of human communication develop, love
will continue to be a fundamental theme of humankind.

Lecture
"Origins of Love Revealed by Genetics" * in Japanese-language only
While love is rarely addressed as a scientific problem, the sexual mechanism of the division and
combination of DNA underpins the emotion of love, and it could well be that our feelings of
like or dislike for a partner are predetermined by our DNA. In this session we introduce the
latest discoveries in genetic science from the standpoint of genome anthropology and consider
how humans have changed genetically as a result of sexual behavior, marriage systems, and so
on as well as the significance of these changes.
