With most Tokyo galleries closed during the New Year's break, it can be difficult to find an interesting contemporary art show in the city.
Don't despair, though. Now is the perfect time to get out and "discover" a relatively unknown bygone painter, and the Tokyo Station Gallery has just the ticket now at their oh-so-convenient brick-walled space: Heinrich Vogeler.
Heinrich Vogeler? I had never heard of the guy either. He isn't listed in the Thames and Hudson artists' reference manual; neither is there any mention of him in the usually thorough Oxford Dictionary of Twentieth Century Art.
